Description: | A cast copper alloy seal matrix of medieval date. The seal matrix is a pointed-oval shape with one fifth of its length missing from the base; this may have been a purposeful act. The seal matrix depicts the virgin with infant in her arms and a second child stood to her right hand side. The inscription reads SE[D or G] [----] inside a double border. The reverse has a central rib and projecting attachment loop. The loop is square with a semi-circular hole. The metal is a dark blackish-brown colour and survives in good condition. The seal matrix is 36.1mm long, 27.2mm wide, 9.3mm thick and weighs 21.1g. This seal matrix dates to circa 1350-1500.
