Description: | Copper alloySeal Matrix, as identified by finder. Cast oval seal matrix with delicate flat handle of which a tripartite openwork part survives; a further loop is lost. The seal apparently depicts a bird, possibly crested, facing right on the seal matrix - a clear impression cannot be produced - within an annular border. This device recalls plate brooches shaped like a duck or water bird, of which (the brooches) numbers have been reported from around the Humber. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.Length/Height: 24.3mm, Width (of seal): 15.3mm, Thickness (handle, centre): 2.7mm, Weight: 4.97gms.
