Description: | An incomplete copper alloy fob seal matrix of late post-medieval to modern date. The fob seal is rectangular in plan with a clear glass intaglio inset into the centre. The reverse is domed and decorated with linear incised lines radiating form the centre where the remains of a broken and worn attachment shank project. It is not possible to determine how the intaglio is secured in to the frame though it is likely a resin or glue was used. The intaglio bears the image of the head and neck of a man facing right (left when printed) but no lettering is present. The metal is a mid reddish-green colour and is worn. The matrix is 20.5mm long, 18.1mm wide, 14.9mm thick and weighs 7.6g.A similar example can be seen on the database as KENT-985645..
