Description: | Incomplete cast silver seal matrix of probable eighteenth century date (AD 1700 - AD 1800). Length 12.2mm, width 10.5mm. Weight 1.34g.
The die face of the seal is oval. Viewing an impression, the moulded die depicts a human skeleton holding a spear or arrow in the left hand and an hourglass in the right hand. These features are enclosed by a beaded oval line concentric with the oval outer edge. On the reverse is the stub of the broken handle which appears to have been conical rather than faceted. The seal is in good condition and the break is old. | 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: | 1700
