Description: | Complete, but in two halves, post-medieval silver seal matrix. The die is oval in plan and shows the negative design of a galleon with three pairs of sails, but not actually showing the masts, and front and rear castles, without a border. There is no lettered inscription. The shaft is conical and terminates in a circular loop, beneath which is an integral moulded collar, flush with the shaft. The shaft has broken approximately half way along its length. There is damage to the rear of the die face, which has resulted in a hole. The damage edges, though not fresh, are not worn, suggesting this damage occurred in the more recent past. The die is 14.3mm long and 11.44mm wide. The overall length of the matrix is 24.54mm. It weighs 3.79g. This object has been disclaimed under the Treasure Act 1996. | 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: | 1500
