Description: | A copper-alloy personal seal matrix of Medieval date.The hexagonal-sectioned handle extends upwards from the back of the circular printing face, tapering towards the top, before terminating in a wider, flat-sectioned loop. When printed, the central device shows a boar's head, facing left, contained within a beaded circular border, around which extends the legend '*CREDE MICHI' ('Believe in me').Dimensions: 19.1mm high, 17.7mm wide (diameter of printing face). Weight: 6.25g.Matrices of this type - small, upright and with a latin motto - are typical of the 14th century. Other seal matrices bearing this legend include PAS records SWYOR-B1D744 and ESS-BFB207.
