TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 2222

14th-15th century AD. A discoid bronze seal matrix with strap and loop to the reverse, central horseshoe motif with surrounding text '+S PERRESON LE MARE[Cha', which translates to 'the seal of Pierson the Marshall'; with museum-quality impression. 12 grams, 24mm (1"). Property of a European gentleman living in the UK; formerly in a private collection formed in the 1990s. A marshall at this date was responsible for looking after the horses (see etymology), hence the horseshoe is an appropriate device for him. Note that when correctly orientated, the seal shows the horseshoe 'upside down', the unlucky position according to modern folk-belief. Plentiful earlier historical instances, however, such as this, show that heraldically this was the correct way up, so cannot have been considered unpropitious at that date. Fine condition, loop absent, professionally cleaned and conserved.
