Description: | An unfinished lead seal matrix dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1300 to 1450.The object is a pointed-oval in plan or "vessica-shaped". The front has faint markings which reflect the pointed oval shape. The back is undecorated with a small projection which may have been intended as a suspesion loop but never finished. Seal matrices of this shape become popular from the 13th century so it seems likely that this object is of a similar date.There are other unfinished, pointed-oval seal matrices recorded on the PAS database including SWYOR-E47505 and SOM-8B0EC3.
