Description: | Lead Seal matrix, pointed oval (vesica) in shape and dating to the 13th century. The matrix weighs 10.15g and measures 35.73mm in length, 21.9mm in width and 6.8mm in thickness (including loop). The central motif on the seal matrix is an eight pointed star, possibly representing a Christmas star. The seal has a legend around the outside which reads S?RICARD? B? DV. There is a dot between the two arms of the V implying it is an abbreviation, as is the B. There is no way of knowing exactly what the abbreviation stands for but it is possibly something like ?deo volente? (God willing). | 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
