Hi Helen,

     What does the seal, itself, look like? What is it made of, bronze, stone...? Fascinating item.

 this is the best photo i could find
 
 A complete medieval seal matrix, cast copper alloy.
 information so far


  a 14th century impersonal seal with a hunting motto. The legend reads 'SOhV ROBI which literally means "I ride(Sohou) rabbits (Robi) ". "Sohou" was a common hunting cry. By the way it is a rabbit riding a hound.
