Description: | Cast copper alloy seal matrix dating to the Medieval period. The seal has a circular face with a hexagonally faceted shaft. The top of the object terminates with a break and would have had an oval attachment loop. The break appears to have occurred in antiquity. The seal matrix has a central device depicting a robed figure standing facing with left arm outstretched. On either side of the figure are four six-petalled flowers. Surrounding the device the legend reads S'R[......]. The edges of the seal matrix have been damaged making the legend illegible. The object has a mid-green mottled patina and is corroded in places.
