Description: | Medieval seal matrix; cast lead pointed oval personal seal matrix of 13th century date. The matrix has quite a thick flan and an integral suspension loop, formed from a narrow band of lead which extends up from the front of the matrix and is curved back on itself. It then extends down the back as a ??tail?? ridge. The seal design has a central device which may be a dagger, or a mis-shapen cross or lys. It has a pronounced cross of wedges as the initial mark. The legend is somewhat confused as some of the letters are retrograde but the inscription runs around the seal impression in an anti-clockwise fashion. It is rather worn but seems to read ??SI RO[I??]DIGE??
Length 27.1mm, width 16.4mm, thickness (plate) 3.4mm, thickness (loop) 4.9mm, weight 8.56g
