Description: | Lead alloyPossible Seal. Cast disc bearing stamped impression, apparently of a motif resembling a fat wheat ear. Either lettering or characters resembling lettering formed a circumferential legend, though it remains undeciphered. This object might alternatively be a seal matrix, possibly one made for an illiterate user. Bright metal is exposed as a result of the partial unclenching of what was probably deposited as a rolled up object, which is otherwise heavily patinated overall. Suggested date: Possibly Medieval, 1200-1500.Diameter: 24.9mm, Thickness: 2.6mm, Weight: 9.63gms.
