Description: | Copper alloy circular seal matrix from the 13/14th centuries.It is a personal seal with a central design of a male bust facing right. The man has a hairstyle of a tonsure which would suggest he is a monk. Although the seal is in good condition the legend around the outside is not particularly clear even when an impression was made. it appears to read 'S'_GLIG DE GR_ _ S_HT' It is probable the first word is meant to say 'SIGILLUM' which means a seal, and that the rest of the legend may be a religious motto, possibly 'DE GRA'.
