Description: | A circular copper alloy seal matrix with a hexagonal handle terminating in a triple collar with rhomboid suspension loop above. Loop has quadrifoliar perforation; two marks indicate top of matrix face. Device: a merchant's mark, consisting of a triangle and cross staff design. From the middle of the triangle's base line rises a staff topped with a three-tailed pennant (tails to right) and cross paty; both of these are above the top of the triangle, in the lettering area. The line of the staff within the bounds of the isosceles triangle has a dot on it at the mid-point. From the same base point on the isosceles triangle two further lines rise, the left-hand one meeting the left side of the original triangle just below its mid-point and so producing two further triangles; the line rising on the opposite side of the base mid-point mirrors this. Device separated from legend by a neat line; a similar line marks the outer edge of the matrix.
