Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy seal matrix dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). When complete the object would have been circular in plan. The majority of the central motif is missing; three pointed oval indentations of the motif remain. The motif possibly depicts petals or leaves as can be seen on Griffiths, R (2014) YORYM-7E45C7 A MEDIEVAL SEAL MATRIX Webpage available at: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/595567 or Marsden, K (2013) ESS-8F6798 A MEDIEVAL SEAL MATRIX Webpage available at: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/582512.The seal reads [...] EC [..]. The reverse of the object is decorated with either a moulded fleur-de-lis or possibly an ear of corn with three stylised leaves. The object has a light brown patina and is in poor condition.
