SEAL MATRIX

Unique ID: HAMP1182

Object type certainty: Certain

There are currently no images available.

Cast copper-alloy seal matrix. Flat, circular with rectangular-sectioned handle with large bulge mid-way. The end of the handle is flattened and has a small hole at one side, although this does not perforate the end and is therefore not a suspension loop. The central motif is enclosed within a poorly defined beaded border. Poorly executed.
