Description: | A complete but abraded cast copper-alloy medieval seal matrix of conical form (c. 14th century AD). The handle is hexagonally faceted, with the facets worn smooth. Its moulded collar has a plain ridge; the perforated terminal for suspension is angled at its apex. The broadly circular die has an inner beaded border; the circumference is abraded and a possible border there lost. Within the inner circle is a shield with a flat top depicting a long cross. Around is the impersonal inscription: '* IE SEL PREVE L' (broadly, 'I am a private seal', a common inscription). The artefact has a dark-green patina with some small light patches of corrosion product.
