Description: | A slightly damaged and corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval seal matrix of conical form. A low cone rises to a central handle which expands and flattens to a trilobate loop. This features three perforations in each loop; the upper loop is angled. The die is sub-circular, measuring 15.35mm by 14.75mm. In intaglio is a stag's head facing left (on the matrix). It is within an incised border. The form suggest a c. 17th-century date for this seal matrix. A similar object can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 76, 81; ref. 620); cf. also YORYM-87E474 on this database.
