Description: | A lead seal matrix dating from the Medieval period, the 13th or 14th century. It is a pointed oval in shape and has a light brown patina. The inscription reads: "S' SERL [...]LE: WITE". The matrix is cracked across the centre, and one end is damaged. With part of the lettering missing it is difficult to find a certain match to people named in historic documents. The central motif is of a 8 petal flower. It has a length of 34.15mm, width 20.99mm, thickness 2.56mm, weight 9.01g. For reference see P and E Saunders 1991. Salisbury and South Wiltshire Medieval Catalogue part 1 pgs 35-39.
