Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete post-medieval cast copper-alloy seal matrix with multiple dies. The artefact is cross-shaped with a central perforated element from which four arms of circular cross-section extend; one is broken and the flared terminal with the die has been lost. The surviving dies are broadly circular in shape (c. 12mm in diameter) and each contain a shallowly engraved device within a border. The devices are as follows: a fleur-de-lis, a ?stag running right, an ?anchor. Such multi-die matrices tend to be attributed a 17th-century date (see Read 1988, 152; 1030, 1031). The artefact…
