Description: | A cast copper alloy seal matrix of medieval date. The circular matrix measures 16.8mm (diameter of die) by 17.8mm (length) and weighs 5.5g. The conical handle has six slight facets and terminates in a narrowed suspension loop. Robert Webley suggests that the legend reads * IE SV SEL, French for 'I am a seal'. The central device is a lamb holding a flag. Other seal matrices with this legend that have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database include WILT-94E795, from Bishopstone, Wiltshire, NMS-4E5F51, from Quidenham, Norfolk and SF-8DD1F3, from Yaxley, Suffolk.
