Description: | A 17th century silver swivelling seal matrix, flat and double sided and cut from sheet. The suspension loop is at the top. The seal is engraved on both sides with scrolling ornament at the outer edge. The swivelling fob seal is engraved on both sides with: Side 1. Cupid firing his bow and arrow Side 2. Two hearts pierced by a single arrow, bleeding, surmounted by a crown. The scrolling ornament on the handle and the style and subject of the engraved seal suggest a late 17th Century or even early 18th Century date (Dora Thornton).
