Description: | Very crude lead alloy seal matrix, medieval in date, probably c.13th/ 14th century in date.
The seal matrix is circular in shape (diameter c.32mm) and 6mm thick with a rough line running around the circumference, perhaps suggesting the inscribed surface was a top layer added to the matrix. The seal matrix is squashed to one side.
On the reverse an oval section shank (roughly 8x7mm) extends 25mm and is pushed over to one side, the side of the seal matrix that is squashed.
The inscription reads +SIGILLI WILELMIDE[...], trailing into the squashed area. It is missing c.5 characters.
Weighs 50.55g. Inscription: +SIGILLI WILELMIDE[...] | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
