Description: | A lead personal seal matrix of probable late 12th to early 13th century AD date (P. Harvey and A. McGuinness; 1996; pp. 79).The object consists of a circular disc, which measures 46.3mm in diameter and 4.8mm thick. The upper surface bears the recessed central image of a fleur-de-lis within a circular border. The legend, when printed, runs clockwise from twelve o'clock and reads: '+SIGILLVM:HVELINE:.:.' ('seal of Hueline'*). The reverse of the object is plain, with no handle and no means of attachment to a string. The piece survives in reasonable condition. It weighs 55.39g.
