Description: | An incomplete lead seal matrix of Medieval date (AD 1200-1300). The seal is pointed oval in form, and has a broken loop projecting from the top of its apex. The front of the die depicts a central uncertain curvilinear decoration with an engraved border. Between the inner and outer border is an inscription obscured by damage but what is retained reads [...]AIO/CIhL[...] (C in retrograde). The reverse of the object has a central engraved decoration in the form of a curvilinear pattern. The metal is a dark cream in colour and has a heavily pitted and corroded patina.
