Description: | Medieval lead seal. Non-heraldic personal seal matrix of probable mid to late 13th C. AD date. The piece is a pointed oval in shape and has suffered from post-depositional damaged and corrosion. It measures 31.9mm long by 18.8mm wide and 5.3mm thick. The central image is set within a narrow cell and appears to be an abstract "swirling" pattern. The legend runs anti-clockwise around the outside (clockwise when printed) and appears to read "SIGILLUM OAPGILT" (?). The reverse of the seal has a vertical rib and a damaged lug handle at the top. It weighs 5.94g. | 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: | 1250
