Silver seal matrix: a sub-oval shaped face is backed by a stem that tapers into a hexagonal column, out of which sprouts two scrolls that curl under themselves.

Silver seal-die, oval matrix engraved with bust of a woman with hat, necklace and hair worn in bunches; exposed shoulders. Fluted handle with integral suspension loop, worn.

Since the dating is uncertain it is not possible to definitely classify this as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
