Description: | A worn conical oval silver seal matrix with a faceted upper part that would form the now missing looped handle. Object has been damaged during burial. The emblem consists of a bleeding heart pierced by two crossing arrows and with a crown above. The design is similar to that found on a number of post medieval buttons and cufflinks previously reported as treasure. [see Treasure Annual Report 2001, p81. The design may have commemorated the marriage of Charles II & Catherine of Braganza in 1662.The find therefore qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content.
