Description: | An incomplete lead alloy Medieval seal matrix. It is circular in plan, with an integral non-pierced lug on the reverse. The reverse is plain, but the front has a six pointed star ('Star of David') within a circle. The inscription along the edge is mostly missing, but the extant legend reads '+ S N[---] E'. The seal matrix has been broken in half, either cut or bent off. The old break folds inwards towards the front of the seal, creating a small lip. A portion of the edge near the old break is bent inwards as well, obscuring the letters on the inscription. It is a cream colour, and in fair condition. It measures 17.99 mm DAI x 13.85 mm W x 6.85 mm TH (including the lug) and weighs 4.58 g.
