Description: | An incomplete silvered pedestal type seal matrix. The seal face is octagonal and carries a design of an eye above a heart pierced by two arrows in a saltire. Around the heart in the remaining three angles of the saltire are indentations representing drops of blood. There is a pellet border around the edge. The handle is broken. It is rectangular in cross section and decorated with two raised horizontal bands before it flares terminating in a worn break. The seal design is very similar to those seen on cufflinks of the 17th century. There are signs of green verdigree around the connection between the face and the handle, suggesting the the ittem has a copper core that has been silvered. The face of the matrix is 16.5mm long, 15.1mm wide. The matrix is 17mm high and weighs 4.58grams.For parallels see SOM-46A145, Treasure cases 2009 T27, 2008 T289, 2008 T411, 2004 T389
