Description: | Medieval lead seal matrix. Probably a personal seal of 13th C. AD date. Pointed oval in shape with a heavily worn impression which is very difficult to make out. The legend runs around the outer edge of the seal in a clockwise direction and is separated from the central image by a double indented border. It reads SIGILLUM..LRN (?)...... The remainder is too worn to read. The central image depicts an eagle, which is standing and facing left, with its wings spread. It is not particularly well executed. The reverse of the seal is plain apart from a central horizontal rib and, at the top, a bent over lug with a hole in the centre.
It measures 36.8mm long, by 25mm wide and 3.1mm thick. Weight = 24.57g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
