Description: | A copper alloy, vesica-shaped (pointed oval) seal matrix, back flat and plain other than a suspension loop intact at the top of a short midrib. Rather a crude device of a heraldic wyvern, wings closed, placed on the long axis of the vesica, the head being beneath the top cross and its tail at the bottom point of the vesica. The wyvern is set against a scene which is difficult to decipher; there is a fleur-de-lys, or perhaps top of a palm tree, above its back and it appears to be standing on, or possibly holding, an object of indeterminate shape. A line separates the legend from the device area.
