Description: | Double sided circular seal matrix. The seal has a small, integral, rectangular suspension loop at the top. The seal is inscribed with the names of a male and a female, presumably husband and wife although the text does not prove this.Side A: The seal is decorated with an eight pointed flower head. In the centre is a circle, and the four vertical and horizontal petals are oval. The four diagonal petals are kite-shaped. The surrounding legend reads: SIGILL.RANVLFI.BLEChE (Seal of Ranulfi Bleche). The double 'L' is barred, and the 'A' and the 'N' of RANVLFI are conjoined. Side B: The seal is decorated with three crosses stacked on top of each other. The surrounding legend reads: S':LVCIE.FILIE.LA'B'TI. This inscription is more difficult to intepret, and may read Seal of Lucy, daughter of ? La 'B[+ central portion of last name]TI.
