Description: | An incomplete copper alloy seal matrix of post medieval date, c. AD 1550 to 1750. The matrix features a flat base which has been inscribed with the image of a bird with a long beak, possibly a duck and a branch with long linear leaves above. There is a border of chevrons around the edge of the matrix. The body of the object extends from the base and tapers before a collar. Extending from the collar is a flat trefoil terminal. There are circular indentations in the two lower lobes and the top lobe, where it would have been suspended, is broken. Similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database: NARC-E14371 and NCL-1F5797.
