SEAL MATRIX

Unique ID: SWYOR-55C2B6

Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Post Medieval seal matrix

A copper alloy seal matrix of Post Medieval date. The matrix itself has a rectangular face with rounded corners. From each corner and side of the matrix the sides taper up to form a stem with a central collar. A smaller second collar above that leads to an integral circular suspension loop. The suspension loop terminates a small knop on the top. The hole in the suspension loop is aligned parallel with the longest axis of the rectangular matrix and is filled with iron corrosion from a means of attachment. The matrix face is too corroded to be able to make out the design. Compare SUSS-E502E0.
