More model informationThis is a modern copper-alloy reproduction of the seal matrix of Brother Matthew, a Monk at Arbroath Abbey.
Seals were common items during the medieval period. At a time when few people could read or write, they were used to authenticate documents, similar to a signature.
The design of the matrix would often feature a portrait of the owner or their coat of arms. The matrix would have been pressed into hot wax, which would leave behind the design of the matrix on a surface. Seals could either be placed onto a document directly, or attached with a cord.
