Description: | Medieval lead alloy seal matrix fragment, 94mm long and 27mm wide. The object is in fair condition with a beige patina. It has been twisted and fractured and it weighs 75grams. The object is about half of an oval or lentoid shaped matrix and has an inscribed border. The object is illustrated with part of a human figure, the arm and edge of the body can be seen. The arm is holding a staff similar to a bishop's crozier, and purse is suspended from its wrist. The inscription reads S..(T)VMERNOLD..., presumably giving part of the owner's name.
