It is a personal matrix, the legend around the edge reading: S' ROB' TICHELES (meaning The seal of Robert Ticheles). The central motif (described from the impression) is of a bird, facing left, sitting on a branch, all within a pointed oval border. There is an integral, circular suspension loop at one end of the reverse. The seal is 29.7mm long, 16.2mm wide and 6.5mm thick. It weighs 6.52gm.
