Description: | Base from a copper-alloy seal-box, lozengiform or pointed oval in shape and with decoration of four slightly unevenly set circular perforations. The base is flat and has a flange set slightly in from the edges, into which slots are cut at the rounded corners. These slots would have allowed the cord fastening the document to enter the seal-box, and then wax would have been poured on to seal the document. Part of the flange is now missing (old breaks). The corner at one end has two projections pierced to take an ?iron bar, on which the lid of the box would have hinged. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
