Description: | Lead seal matrix, incomplete, probably Medieval. Presumably originally rectangular and divided by a plain line into two square panels. Roughly two thirds of one panel is missing, but the remaining panel bears an incuse diagonal quatrefoil made up of four converging pointed ovals - just two survive in the broken panel. At the unbroken end is a flat projection, presumably a handle, set at right angles to the matrix, plain and with rounded terminal - this is now damaged and bent to one side. The other surface of the matrix is undecorated. Thick cream patina, broken in antiquity. Length (broken) 36.5mm, width 20.09mm, thickness across seal c.3.5mm, thickness of handle 6.44mm, width of handle (damaged) c.3mm, weight 11.65g.
