Cast copper alloy Medieval seal matrix, 14th century in date. Copper alloy circular seal matrix, hexagonal tapering handle with a broken circular suspension loop at top. Device of, in the centre, a twig-like tree with a nest at the top; in this, a bird facing left. Either side of this two figures rather crudely drawn: on the left, a young man in profile facing right, and on the right, a rather long head of a woman in profile facing left, no real details visible. Unfortunately the edge of the seal is missing so no legend remains. A similar seal matrix is already recorded on…

County: Hartlepool
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy pendant or mount, late Medieval to Post Medieval in date. It has a large circular loop at the top, the pendant body would have been lozenge shape when complete with scalloped edges but some parts are missing. There is decoration in relief on the front face which is now obscured by wear and corrosion, it appears to have been symmetrical with some zig-zag lines. The reverse is mainly flat with a off-centre circular dent, possibly where a stud was attached, this is unclear.
