Description: | Cast lead seal matrix dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). The matrix is of pointed oval shape and has a central device of an ear of corn. The object is inscribed around the edge reads S'WILL[ ]. The reverse of the object is decorated with a moulded ear of corn with three stylised leaves. Within each leaf is a central pellet. The edges of the object have been damaged and there is a modern break across the centre, presumably due to plough damage. At one end of the object is a broken loop for attachment. The object is probably a personal seal type and can be dated to the 13th century.
