Title
Copper alloy vescia seal matrix dating to the late medieval period c. 1400-1500.
Description
English:

Copper alloy seal matrix of late medieval date c.1400-1500AD, which appears to be a matrix of the Deanery of Brecon.  The seal is a pointed oval (vesica) shape with a pierced lug on the reverse. The central motif, which is surrounded by a plain border,  comprises  a mitred figure vested for Mass standing full-face holding a crosier in the crook of his right arm, a book held up to his chest with his left hand, within an architectural niche. 

The legend reads:

sigillū decani de brekenok

(Seal of the Dean of Brecon).
