Description: | Circular lead seal matrix, 36 mm in diameter but only about 2 mm thick, with unpierced lug at top. The central design is a five-pointed star above a crescent moon. Around this is the inscription, in bold widely-spaced letters, reading * S' MARTINI: SARLE (Seal of Martin Sarle). Sarle is a variant of the surname Searle; in 1327 there were three families called Sarle recorded in Suffolk, one from Stonham Parva, one from Huntingfield-cum-Linstead, and one from Lavenham.
