Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1200-1500) copper alloy seal matrix, missing its handle (old break). The die is missing a small part of the edge. The object measures 17.77mm in diameter and stands 6.86mm high. It weighs 5.03g.The seal has a circular die and the stump of the handle is hexagonal in cross-section. The die depicts a quatrefoil with vein detail in each foil above a pheon (arrow). Around is an inscription which reads: S'AMIC[ ... ].ROPLERS* (suggested by Laura Burnett, Somerset FLO) or possibly S'AMICIE RO[...]RS* (suggested by Rob Webley, Hampshire FLO). Rob goes on to mention that Amice is a female name and suggests a possible parallel, SF9245 (S'AMICIE SAILE).
