Description: | A copper-alloy seal matrix of probable mid to late 13th century AD date. The object is vessica-shaped and has a central image of a fleur-de-lys. The legend runs clockwise when printed and reads "SIG RAN LE COLTE"* (seal of Ran Le Colte). The final part of the space for the legend is occupied by a branch, which is probably decorative and was inserted to fill the space. On the reverse is a central rib and a circular lug. This latter element is located at the bottom, suggesting that the image was inserted upside down. The object is in good condition and measures 31.2mm long by 18.5mm wide and 3.9mm thick. It weighs 10.15g. | Subjects: | Matrix | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
