Description: | An incomplete silver seal matrix dating to the Medieval period, probably 14th century in date. The seal has an oval face with a hexagonal conical handle above. A hexagonal collar divides the handle from a trefoil suspension loop. Part of the oval face has been broken meaning that the inscription is no longer complete. The face of the seal depicts two birds (possibly doves) touching beaks with two flowers either side. In between the two doves is a fleur de lis and below are the legated initials 'AH.' Above the two doves is closed 'C.' The inscription around the perimeter of the face reads '(T?)AV....EDEA(N?)WRLELE.' The object is in good condition part from the break and some general wear and tear on the surface.
