Description: | Copper alloy possible seal matrix fragment. A round or oval socket forming the [now] open base of a cone of thinner copper alloy sheet with a butted seam, and with the worn stub of a suspension loop at the top. It is suggested a separate matrix, possibly a cut stone, has been lost from the handle. The light construction may suggest this was carried on a fob. Personal seals of later 18th to early 19th-century date are often rounded (cf. Pateman, B. 2008, An illustrated guide to Collecting Seals, Whitehall Press, Chingford, London, no. 109). Suggested date: post-Medieval, 1750-1825.Diameter (long axis): 21.7mm, Height: 27.1mm, Thickness (at basal socket): 1.0mm, Weight: 3.36gms
