Description: | A lead pointed oval shaped seal matrix of medieval 13th century date. Measuring 32mm in length and 14mm in width, There is a worn incomplete integral suspension loop projecting from one tip. The front face has a central pointed oval shape with two parallel dots within it. Around this the border legend, which is now in places unclear, appears to read; S' AGN' E: HA-(possibly 'C' retrograde) BISSC or BUSC.' Meaning 'the seal of Angus E ha-bissc/busc.' This is therefore a personal seal belonging to an individual woman whose full name can no longer be read. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
