Description: | Medieval cast lead circular seal matrix of probably 13th century date. The matrix is flat with a raised line running down the centre of the back, at one end of which is a semicircular lug, opposite the start of the legend on the front. The front is decorated with a central cross pattee around which the legend is crudely inscribed. It appears to start with a cross and read: S'IACI DE C(L)O(R) suggesting it was the personal seal of a person named James or Jacob (both rendered in latin as IACOBUS) of an unclear place. It is 26.1mm in diameter, 4.1mm thick excuding the lug, 8.1mm thick including it and weighs 15.45 grams. Inscription: S'IACI DE C(L)O(R) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
