Description: | A copper-alloy seal matrix of Medieval date. The hexagonal-sectioned handle extends upwards from the back of the circular printing face, tapering towards the top. The suspension loop is missing. The central motif on the impressing face is of a gryphon passant. Around this are the words 'S V PRIVET'. The legend is a shortened form of IE SV PRIVE, which translates from Latin as 'I am private' or 'I am privately sent'.
