Description: | Copper-alloy openwork object, probably part of the handle of a fob seal matrix. The item has a bent and broken base, with a sub-rectangular frame above with scrolled incurved sides and a thin bar of copper-alloy extending up through the centre. These end in an acorn-shaped terminal with a circular hole in the centre, 4 mm in diameter. The object is 37 mm long and 22 mm wide.
Openwork fob seal matrices of this type were in use during the Georgian and Victorian periods. Other examples of fob seals with similar handles on this database are IOW-CBB097, SF-E96797 , YORYM-87F620 and BH-344CA1 . | 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: | 1720
