Description: | A post-medieval copper alloy seal matrix, perhaps 17th or 18th century in date, and of continental origin depicting "Three arrows or crossbow bolts bendwise in bend sinister points downwards".The matrix itself is oval and measures 19.14x16.07mm, with a lipped and slightly domed reverse, max.2.34mm thick. The ornate openwork handle rises from a rounded oval knop and is roughly trapezoidal in shape with long scrolled edges on a semi-circular base, a pierced lozenge between them at the top (2.07mm diameter) for suspension.It stands 27.25mm tall and weighs 6.22g.Other examples of seal matrices with similar handles on this database are IOW-CBB097, SF-E96797, YORYM-87F620, BERK-9192E3 and BH-344CA1.
