Description: | A circular, copper alloy seal matrix; back plain other than sloping midrib and small suspension loop at top. Device of two long-necked birds, possibly swans or, more likely, cormorants, facing each other with a fleur-de-lys in base between them. Their beaks touch at the topmost point of the fleur-de-lys' vertical central petal, and the birds perch on the tops of the two side petals. Device is separated from legend by a neat beaded line; a similar line marks the outer edge of the matrix face.
