Description: | Circular lead seal matrix, 26 mm diameter, with a raised rib on the reverse ending in an unpierced lug. The central motif is a boat with a boldly engraved hull and more lightly scratched gunwale strake, mast and two mast stays. This is enclosed within a circle, and the legend around reads S' WILL: LE. OFFICIEL (Seal of William the Official). This may be perhaps a seal of office of a port official. A very interesting find!
