Description: | Silver pedestal seal matrix with an oval die face incised with the coat of arms, within a square shield with an acorn above and foliage either side of the shield. The handle is hexagonal in section with a trefoil openwork lug at its terminus.The coat of arms on the left with an armoured arm holding three arrows below drapery flowing from a central heart may relate to the Tatum family (see Fairbairn's Crests, 1986, Plate 31, Fig.10) or the local Thomson family of Treveryan (now Treverran?), Tywardreath. The arms on the right, with the three trees above the chevron looks like that of the Treffry family of Place, Fowey, but further research needs to be carried out to confirm this.
