Nothing that's leaps out at me Huh Looking at it now though I'm beginning to think that it is a seal matrix, the word DEI is one of few that can be reversed but if read upside down reads correctly Undecided
I think it would have been an Agnus Dei (lamb of god) seal with the lance and pennant similar to the one below Wink

I'll have to try that with my old camera Alan.  Can't beat a soak over night. Wink

Seriously, that's brought out some nice detail. Looks like a horse. Very nice.

Thanks for the clarification Geoff.  Apart from the open mouth it still looks more like a horse  Roll Eyes

Alan,
 I found an interesting reference to the seal on Wiki.  It said Medieval Agnus Dei seals were widely used. The Lamb of God being the only one worthy of opening the 7 seals being a big belief at the time.  They were sometimes used to press into wax and create an impression that was (probably) sold to believers and sometimes mounted into jewellery.
