SEAL MATRIX

Unique ID: DENO-811682

Incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy seal matrix.  The face of the matrix is a rounded oval in shape.  The reverse of the seal face tapers upwards slightly in a low cone towards the centre where the, now missing, handle would have projected upwards. The design of the seal face is very simple and consists of the initials T.S with a star to the top and bottom. This type of seal is thought to date from AD. c.1600-1700.

Inscription: T.S
