Description: | A lead personal seal matrix of probable early 14th century AD date.
The object is vessica-shaped and has suffered a small amount of damage to the bottom left hand corner (as you look at it). The central image depicts a flower head, comprised of four sub-oval petals interspersed with four spear-like petals. The legend is contained within an incised border and reads: + S'RICA[RD] DE BOXEN* ('Seal of Richard de Boxen'). On the reverse, a solid lug handle at the top gives way below to a tapering central rib.
The artefact measures 33.1mm high by 20.1mm wide and 9.3mm thick; it weighs 12.93g. | 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
