A medieval copper-alloy seal matrix. The seal is circular and has a small loop on the reverse. The face is decorated with a quatrefoil frame with pointed angles. A cross motif is contained within this. The base of the cross has a diagonal support beam to either side. A smaller cross hangs from both of the arms. The inscription reads S' IOhANNIS DICTI CROLLING, perhaps meaning, 'Seal of John, called 'the curly'.
