Description: | Circular lead seal matrix, 26 mm in diameter. Flat, it has a relief design on the reverse with six radiating ribs crossing two concentric rings to make three fields. In the second field the six ribs are joined by six more in between; in the third field the twelve ribs again have intervening ribs. To one side of the centre, along the line of one of the original ribs, there is a pierced lug, now squashed flat. The design in the centre of the matrix is a six-petalled flower with fine radiating lines between each petal. Around the outside, the inscription is quite poorly engraved, and reads * S' FERMEN. PITEMAN (Seal of Firmin Pitman). Firmin is a name found more often as a surname.
