Description: | Copper alloy and gemstone seal matrix. A flat polished stone matrix with the engraved motif of [probably] a capital letter A adorned with a vegetal spray and within an incised circular border. The stone is clasped in an oval frame with a rounded and grooved edge and an indented border above this, with a radially ribbed back retaining slight traces of gilding. At the apex of the ribbed back are a pair of opposed moulded features. An adherent blob next to these may mark the site where the object was formerly attached to a fob. The stone appears black at first sight, though with a slight yellowish tint under strong light. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850.Length: 20.1mm, Width: 16.8mm, Thickness: 8.5mm, Weight: 4.08gms
