Ancient Artefacts Category
Copper Alloy Circular Medieval Seal Matrix
Found by Steve Richards. The seal is likely to be late 13th century
to 14th century in date. Unfortunatley the suspension loop has been
broken, but it is still a nice find. Hopefully Mark Lodwick will be able
to make an impression of the seal in wax/resin and decipher it.

our much talented Resident Goldsmith, Adrian Young, for opening it up for him.
One side of the thimble was flat as a pancake when it came out of the ground.

The Obverse bears the head of Hercules, and the Reverse has an eagle
stg. on snake. Celtic coins during this period were being influenced by
the Roman world, hence the design from the classical world.
