Description: | Very small silvered cast copper alloy Georgian fob seal dating from the 18th century. The fob seal is complete with intaglio but the chain is missing. The body of the fob seal is decorated with moulded scrollwork, palmettes and ribbons, but the tinning/silver wash on the surface is very worn and only survives in patches. The intaglio is made from glass, probably, and is complete. Is shows the right-facing bust of a man wearing a cap with his hair curled back over the rim. He also seems to wear a draped cloak.
