Description: | A cast lead-alloy seal matrix of Medieval date, probably 14th century.The seal matrix is a pointed oval shape, with a central spine on the reverse with a broken suspension hoop. The spine has a central groove down its length.The design contains a cross centred in the upper point of the oval, with a centrally placed star or dagger. The inscription is somewhat crude in form, perhaps due as much to the maker of the object as the material it was made in. The inscription reads: SIGILE IOhIS
