Description: | Complete but worn Medieval cast lead alloy personal seal matrix; pointed oval (vesica) shaped, 13th century. The central device is an elongated fleur-de-lys. The inscription is incomplete due to damage but reads "SIG[...]ALIC[...] and when complete probably read seal of 'name' son/daughter of 'name'', with the second named probably being Alice or Alicia, alternatively it could read 'Seal of 'name' of 'town'' with the place name including 'ALIC' in the title. The reverse has a central mid rib running the length with a suspension loop at one end. Dated c.1200-1300.
