Description: | Medieval copper alloy pointed oval seal matrix with integral loop on the reverse. It measures 26.1x17.3x3.7mm and weighs 6.27g.
At the centre is an eight-pointed star, the arms of which are elongated oval in shape. The two vertical arms are the widest. A groove surrounds this.
Around the central edge, bound on its outside edge by another groove, is the legend S' WILL'I DE INCEWILE (the seal of William of Incewile - presumably a place name).
The reverse has a raised 2.8mm wide strip, extending at one end (behind the S') into an elaborate loop with a slight step.
Probably 13th century in date. | 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: | 1201
