Description: | A cast copper alloy disc-shaped medieval seal matrix. The central device is still clear and is a squirrel with a bushy tail holding up a nut or acorn. The inscription is too worn to be legible, but similar matrices have either a personal name or a very general motto (in the case of squirrel matrices this motto is 'I crack nuts'). The reverse of the matrix is plain and has a suspension loop at the top (ie where the squirrel's head is). | 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: | 1200
