Description: | An abraded and bent cast lead seal matrix of medieval date (13th-14th century). The matrix is of pointed oval shape, broken at each pointed end, presumably removing any suspension loop or lug as it is otherwise flat. The die features a central elongated fleur-de-lis, seemingly with a long stalk, within an incised border surrounded by a personal legend. The legend reads: '+ S' : A[...]w FIL' : ThOm' ('Seal of A[ndre]w, son of Thomas'). The legend is also within an incised border. This matrix is corroded and has been bent up at one of the tips.
