A small personal seal of the fob type, with an oval matrix depicting a lion rampant. The handle to the seal rises from the centre of the top of the matrix in a slender stem 3mm wide by 1mm thick, which has broken, apparently since discovery, for the upper part is present but detached. The top of the stem was in trefoil form of three loops, the uppermost of which was broken open in antiquity. The style of the lion rampant means that this must be post-mediaeval, probably 17th or 18th century in date.
