Description: | A lead seal matrix, flat with a looped lug on the reverse (now squashed). Pointed oval, 35.1 mm x 21.8mm. The central motif is a tall and thin stylised fleur de lys. The inscription is possibly + S' ALICE EARSCAL (possibly the Seal of Alice ...). This reading is rather uncertain due to the level of corrosion on the matrix and the way in which the letters have been drawn. It is a personal seal and features a name, rather than a motto. Lug at 12 o'clock position. Late 13th - 14th century.
