Description: | A 17th century silver seal matrix. The matrix has a complex openwork handle and a conical hexagonal body. The apex loop is broken. The face of the matrix is oval and measures 14.52mm x 16.49mm. The design shows a tree, or a plant with flowers, with an interlacing root system, between the initials WS. The same initials also appear, inscribed, on the upper face of the seal in opposed positions. On the seal itself the leter S would appear reversed, so that it is unclear if the seal belonged to SW or WS.
