Description: | Incomplete cast lead vesica shaped seal matrix. Only the tip of the matrix survives, which has a linear decoration in the centre, perhaps the remains of a trefoil or the stem of a fleur-de lis. The surrounding legend reads: ]IL' RV[. The letters 'IL' were probably the remains of the word FIL (son/daughter of), and the 'RV' may have been the first few letters of the masculine name Rudolph or Rufus. The legend may once therefore have read S: ----- F]IL' RV[DOLF?, which would translate as 'Seal of ---- son/daughter of Rudolph. Other examples could include RVNERIOI and RVSSAL. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
