Description: | Fragment of a probably lead seal matrix. The object looks to be one quarter of a vessica shaped seal matric. The reverse is flat and plain. The face of the object has an incised line running down the long edge. This is more likely to be a mark caused during the cutting up of the seal rather than decoration, for the line runs through other decorative motifs and the legend surrounding it. The other motifs are uncertain although there appears to be a circle with a pellet in the centre. The legend is difficult to read: there perhaps a G followed by F' A?M. The last letter is probably an M ~ visible is the first vertical stem and a diagonal downward pointing arm. The seal could read ????G Son/daughter of AM????
