Description: | A silver Post Medieval seal matrix dating from the 17th century.The face of the matrix is oval with a beaded border. The heraldic design (described from the impression) is of a demi-lion rampant facing left above a castle. The reverse has a fluted hexagonal sectioned handle terminating in an oval suspension loop with a collar below and a rounded knop above.There is copper alloy corrosion on the surface of the matrix, but this seems to lie above the surface of the silver. This suggests that the corrosion comes from another object rather than from the core of the seal matrix.Compare IOW-77FAA6 (2011 T532), LANCUM-2E5C81 (2011 T261) and YORYM-0019A4 (2010 T679).As the object is more than 10% silver and more than 300 years old, it fulfils the requirements of the 1996 Treasure Act.
