Description: | Circular lead seal matrix, 28 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick, with some edge damage. On the reverse is a pierced lug, now bent over. The central motif is an eight-point star made from four engraved lines crossing. The legend around reads * S’ SIMONIS D’ LAVSILL’ (Seal of Simon of Lausill). Lausill is perhaps Lawshall in Suffolk; in records of 1194 this is spelled Laweshell, but in the Lay Subsidy of 1327 it is spelled Lausele. This seal matrix dates to the 13th century. Inscription: * S’ SIMONIS D’ LAVSILL’ | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
