Description: | A cast copper alloy seal matrix with a conical handle. The handle terminates with a circular suspension loop, which terminates itself with a small knop. The handle tapers down and outwards towards the die. The handle has been decorated with a number of vertical ribs down the length of the handle. The die has been formed from a large oval shaped piece of copper alloy. The die itself depicts a simple high relief cross hatch design. The die measures 16.39mm x13.31mm. The seal matrix is a dark greenish-brown colour; the surface is well worn and pitted. There are some areas, which have a green corrosion product on the surface. The seal matrix probably dates to the 17 - 18th Century. | 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: | 1600
