Description: | Small vesica-shaped seal-matrix of lead, 36mm long by 18.5mm broad by 3mm thick. It carries a marginal inscription, along one side S' WILL: and on the other TVBBARD - the seal of Willam Tubbard. In the central vesica-shaped enclosure is a fleur de lys composed of a neatly-cut central stem with small side-tendrils, and a separate central stiff leaf. The back or upper side of the matrix has a small solid rising element as handle at one end. From this there is a central stem running the full length of the matrix, without-arching tendrils on either side symmetrically disposed in four pairs. All these are shown ornamentally in cast moulded relief. This seal is probably of the thirteenth century or possibly the early fourteenth. | 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
