Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper-alloy seal matrix of post-medieval date. The object is conical and octagonally facetted; there is a loop for suspension at the top with the remains of an iron chain in the loop. The surface of the die, on the underside of the matrix, has been gilded, and has a well-defined pattern of criss-cross grooves.

A similar seal matrix can be seen on the database at LVPL-5824C1.
