Description: | A lead vesica-shaped (pointed oval) seal matrix with slight bends at edges. Back is in relatively poor condition, but a pattern of dots suggest that it had a semi-raised design of either a fleur-de-lys, with the end of the midrib flaring out to form the uppermost petal and the lug, apparently unperforated, at the base. The other two falls were delineated by dots; alternatively, it may have been a design of three spirals. Device is a semi-abstract floral design consisting of two elegant fleur-de-lys-like falls. Above this, two lines of similar thickness to the falls curving inward to form a heart shape, and rising through the centre of this a rod topped by an eight-pointed star. No border separates the device from the legend.
