Description: | A Medieval, copper-alloy, circular seal matrix. It has a hexagonal stem that widens to the base. The top of the stem has the remains of a broken suspension loop. The matrix itself has a central, circular motif of a bird of prey, facing left, standing on a rabbit or hare, also facing left. The bird has a long tail and a hooked, open beak that is biting at the rabbit's head. The inscription runs around the outer circle, beginning with a six-pointed star. It reads: ALAS IE SV PRIS (alas je supris) meaning "Alas I am caught"
