Description: | A fragment of a lead seal matrix most likely to be circa 13th-century, 16.6mm in surviving width and 14.6mm in surviving height. This fragment has a curved edge and the original matrix is likely to have been circular - roughly a quarter of it now survives. On the back the integral suspension loop is set at right angles to the matrix survives. On the front face there is a flower in the centre and a border inscription, reading S'IOH[ ]. This is therfore a personal seal and the inscription means, 'seal of Ioh...' (the rest of the individual's name is now missing). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
