Description: | A complete cast lead alloy Medieval seal matrix dating from about 1200-1300. The seal is a vesica shape (or pointed oval) with a broken lug set at one end on the reverse. The face has been decorated with a stylised fleur de lis. Surrounding the border is a legend which reads S' ROB' FILI PETRI: (Seal of Robert son of Peter). The face of the seal matrix is worn and has a creamy light brown and grey patina. Seals with names and of this shape became popular in the 13th century; therefore, this seal most likely dates from this period. Other seal matrices of the same period may be found on the database at PAS record IDs: YORYM-2A8D97, SF-BF1EE6, NARC-750251.Length: 29.4mm; Width: 20.7mm; Thickness: 8.5mm; Weight: 13.36g
