Description: | Flat circular copper-alloy seal matrix, 17 mm in diameter, with a raised rib on the reverse ending in a pierced D-shaped lug at the top. The central motif is a lamb and flag (the Agnus Dei or Lamb of God); the lamb is looking back over its shoulder and one of its front legs is bent under the body. The flagpole extends up into the inscription where it is crossed to form the initial cross. The inscription around the outside reads ECCE AGNVS DEI (Behold the Lamb of God). This is quite a common 14th-century seal matrix design. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
