Description: | Copper alloy lenticular seal matrix; cast rib and suspension lug on reverse; traces of iron corrosion obscure suspension hole; front surface crisply engraved with a central kneeling haloed figure in prayer with two curious circular pellets above head; stooping over him from behind is a male figure brandishing a weapon? above his head, his other hand is used to gather in his gown; the inscription which roughly translates to 'keep your eyes open' may be an allegorical reference to both St Thomas the apostle and Thomas Beckett the martyr. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1250
