Description: | An incomplete Late Post-Medieval (c.1714-1850) silver fob seal matrix, missing part of the handle. It stands 19.93mm tall and the oval matrix itself measures 19.61x16.85mm. The object weighs 7.19g.The matrix depicts a hound (going right) pouncing on a hare with its jaws and front legs within a beaded border. The fob handle consists of ornate open metalwork, with foliate scrollwork and incomplete ovolo terminal.Read comments that fob seals continued in use right through the Georgian period and well into the Victorian (1995: pp. 191). Other examples of fob seals with similar handles on this database are IOW-CBB097, SF-E96797, YORYM-87F620, BERK-9192E3 and BH-344CA1.
