Description
14th-15th century AD. A bronze seal matrix with one smaller head and one larger connected by a shank with quatrefoil void to the centre; the smaller head with intaglio merchant's mark of a doubled cross with short lateral angled bar beneath each crossbar; the larger head with similar mark surrounded by border with 'S' IONIS DE CO[M?]E[.]' (seal of John of ?). Cf. Pateman, B. Collecting Seals, London, 2008, p.104, item 30. 13 grams, 26mm (1"). Found near Canterbury, Kent. The spelling may represent 'Comen', possibly a spelling of the recurrent place-name 'common' (e.g. Whyttesbury Comen for Whitsbury Common) or it may represent the town of Comines, Flanders.
