Description: | A medieval copper alloy seal matrix. It is circular and is 19.11 mm in diameter. It weighs 5.87g. The matrix has the start of a hexagonal handle, but is only 7.81mm in height. There is a small protrusion in the centre, but the rest of the handle is missing. The die itself has a central motif showing a hare (creature with long ears) possibly being captured by a hound. The inscription starts with a cross at 9 o'clock and is the hunting cry 'sohou, sohou'.
