Title
Medieval seal matrix (impression, flipped and inverted)
Description
English: An almost complete copper-alloy seal matrix of medieval date (c. AD 1200-1400).

The seal matrix die is circular in plan, with a tapering handle (6 facets) ending in a raised collar and lozengiform suspension loop with a circular perforation. The die consists of a central design surrounded by an inscription (now very worn and illegible). The central design depicts a stag's head (caboshed) with a cross between the antlers, surrounded by a circular single groove border. The stag with cross motif has been linked with the visions of St Hubert or St Eustace. Cf. <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/605204">HESH-889D71</a>, <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/989138">NCL-8172E9</a>, <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/981989">LVPL-BC8861</a> and <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/807424">SF-261A16</a>.
