Description: | Cooper-alloy medieval seal matrix dating from AD 1200 - 1400. It has a hexagonally facetted conical handle rising to a collar of a ridge between two grooves. Above this is a trefoil terminal, with a small circular perforation of 2.7mm diameter. The circular die face is engraved with a possible four-leafed clover. The legend reads LEL AMI AVET (I am a loyal friend). This is a variation on a frequently appearing legend. Compare SUR-8D8BE7, ESS-EA6954, HAMP-B6AB42 and LEIC-9F1434. The metal has a smooth dark grey patina and is in good condition. The matrix is 27mm high, 19.3mm diameter and 10.61g.
