Description: | Medieval pointed oval seal matrix cast from lead dating from the 13th-14th century. The matrix has a carved legend around a central motif and would have been impressed into wax to seal a document. This example is quite worn with a damaged motif in the centre. The legend reads: S:ROB:FIL:ROGER (Seal of Robert, son of Roger). The back of the seal has the remains of a small loop at the top from which the seal would have been hung.
The matrix weighs 9.94g and measures 27.9mm in length, 20.16mm in width and 4.6mm in thickness. | 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
