Description: | A slightly abraded and bent 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 longitudinal lion or leopard passant, within an incised border surrounded by a personal legend. The legend reads: + S' IOh... (LII) W... (Seal of John, son of W[...]). This matrix is corroded and has been bent up at one of the tips; the sides have become crumbly.
