Description: | A copper alloy vessica shaped (oval with pointed ends) medieval seal matrix. The central motif is of a bird standing and facing left (right on the impression). The bird appears to be a bird of prey with hooked beak and ruff of display feathers. This central portion is defined by two concetric narrow vesica shaped rings. Around the edge of the seal matrix an inscription reads S. CLARICIE LEOSTRICERE; the seal of Clarice Leicester. The initial mark at the apex of the seal is a cross. Outside of the inscription is a border of two narrow concentric lines. The reverse of the seal is plain and flat with an integral cast projecting loop at the top.
The seal matrix is 31.27mm long, 18.80mm wide, 2.66mm thick and weighs 6.75g. Inscription: S CLARICIE LEOSTRICERE | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Davey, John - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
