Description: | Complete cast copper alloy seal matrix. This seal matrix is circular in plan and flat in section. The die face is worn but it appears to have the concave design of a face. The inscription runs around the die, but is also worn. It appears to read (in negative) [?]NNO A [?] NIGI S?L?D, which may refer to an individual who was a doctor of law. The reverse of the matrix is plain. A slight central rib runs along the length of the die terminating in a loop. The loop is intact with a circular perforation. The seal die has a diameter of 22.34mm and is 2.22mm thick. The object weighs 5.46g. The original surface is mostly missing and the object now has a predominantly brown patina with patches of mid green where the original surface partially survives. This is an non-heraldic personal seal probably of the 14th century. | 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: | 1300
