Description: | Copper alloy seal matrix dating to the Medieval period.
The matrix is a pointed oval shape and is complete as the attachment loop is still present on the back. The central picture is very clear but the inscription is not and so is hard to make out.
The inscription reads +S'...TN/IVM...DIEM LOIMG(?)
The central decoration consists of a figure of Mary holding the baby Jesus in the middle of 2 towers. These are either the gates to heaven or towers on a church or cathedral. Below the towers and underneath a pointed arch is kneeeling figure who is praying. | 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: | 1200
