Title
Post Medieval seal
Description
English: A copper alloy fob or pendant seal matrix of Post-Medieval date and with blue glass intaglio. The copper alloy frame is pyramidal in shape with transverse bands of decoration consisting of diagonal or corded lines and floral motifs. A now bent copper alloy suspension loop ending in two upturned terminals is attached to the top of the seal matrix to allow suspension, probably from a watch chain. The blue glass intaglio matrix is square in shape, has a bevelled edge and sits within the copper alloy frame. Engraved directly onto the glass is the word 'BEWARE' above a small endgraved image, perhaps with a nautical theme. The seal matrix measures 14.92mm in height, 17.84mm in width, 16.35mm in thickness, and weighs 5.91g. This example probably dates to the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries, see Read, 1995: pp. 191, no. 1354.
