A copper alloy, double-ended seal matrix, indents for holding behind each face. Approximately 1/3 of the way along its length billows out, and at this point a suspension hole runs through it. Device: a merchant's mark: an inverted V; a line terminating in a small cross at the top runs parallel to the left side, cutting through the right side about half way up it. At the intersection point, a second, shorter line terminating in a small cross heads out horizontally to the right. The lengths of the lines outside the inverted V are approximately equal. On the larger face this is separated…

A cast lead seal matrix, which has been chip carved. The seal matrix is a pointed oval type. The die of the matrix is flat and oval in shape. On the reverse of the die there is a small rounded, unpierced lug position at the ‘top’ of the matrix (the lug relates to the position of the initial mark – indicating the beginning of the legend; showing the user of the matrix which way around to hold the seal matrix). The edges of the seal matrix have been damaged and this has lead to some of the legend being removed. The die depicts an elaborate fleur-de-lis. The initial mark, which is…

Copper alloy circular seal matrix, plain flat back with slight raised midrib suspension loop intact at top. Device of a knight on horseback, sword in raised right hand, looking (?) back over his shoulder. He appears to be wearing a rather short mail hauberk, a fully developed 'great helm' and carrying a tapered 'knightly sword' (hilt indistinct). He wears a long surcoat but his horse is unadorned. There is some sort of cuff indicated on the sword hand. The whole is placed above a fleur-de-lys, with what appears to be a crescent between the sword arm and the horse's raised tail. Device…

Lead circular seal matrix, damaged across centre due to being folded in centre. Back plain, with no suspension loop remaining; may have been at top originally. Device: in profile, a bird of prey (identifiable by its hooked beak) facing left, its wings are raised as when landing or taking off. The legs are positioned in such a way as to suggest that it is running, which accords with the idea of landing or take-off. Legend separated from device by a line. Measurements: 38 mm diameter.
