Of chess piece type with looped handle; the shield-shaped die with a stag's head, cross above and an inscribed panel above. 5.47 grams, 20 mm

The cross alludes to the Vision of St Eustace (also of St. Hubert) who saw the Crucifixion between the antlers of a stag. For a similar seal see PAS database SWYOR-1ES497 where the inscription above reads LELS (for LEL SV, ‘I am loyal’) – the present inscription is probably a debased version of this. -
