Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy seal matrix, circular and in perfect condition. It has a hexagonal cross-section handle with a trefoil suspension loop surmounted by circular loop. The seal depicts Mary Magdalene kneeling with a pot of ointment and Christ standing holding a staff with penants. The letters are gothic and the inscription reads S[igillum] MAGDELE [---] PRO NOBIS ORA. This suggests the translation 'holy Magdalene pray for us'. It may not be the official seal of an institution, but who commissioned it and used it is unknown. It is late 15th to early 16th century in date.
