Description: | An incomplete lead seal matrix of Medieval date. It was originally flat, but has been bent, circular in form and missing more than half of the matrix due to old breaks. The front face has a piece missing in the middle within an inner grooved border. This is surrounded by a legend reading S W C ... ) W I L L (.), a personal name presumably for an individual named Will. The surviving seal matrix measures 23.68mm in length, 14.91mm in width, 1.33mm in thickness and 4.08g in weight.This is a Medieval personal seal matrix for the named individual, Will. Its form and the dividing line between the legend and central motif indicate it is of probable 13th century AD date (Harvey and McGuinness, 1996: p. 79).
