Description: | A lead medieval seal matrix. The seal matrix is pointed oval in shape which indicates a 13th century date. This matrix is most likely to be a non-heraldic personal seal. Unfortunately the seal matrix is very badly worn and has suffered fairly substantial damage and neither the design in the field nor the legend are legible. No traces of a handle or attachment lug remain. This example appears to be quite crude, and even when in its original state it would probably not have been of great quality. The matrix measures 34.4 mm in length and 22.3 mm wide. It is 4.1 mm thick and weighs 11.2 grams. | 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
