Description: | A damaged medieval cast copper alloy conical seal matrix with hexagonally faceted handle. The terminal of the handle appears to have broken during use and been drilled to allow it to be hung from a belt or purse. The circular face of the matrix has a rather crudely cut image of a hawk preying on a smaller bird. Round this is the inscription: 'X ALAS IE SVPRIS' which roughly translates as Alas I am surprised.
