Description: | A Medieval cast lead alloy seal matrix dating from the late 12th to mid-13th century AD. The seal is circular in plan and discoidal; it has been broken irregularly into two pieces, possibly from a post-discovery attempt to open the object up, which had been folded in situ. It has been decorated on the outer seal face with an indented octofoil, which is surrounded by the legend: SIG' M[A]TILDIS : DE : hOD[...]IA . The location listed on the seal matrix has not been identified. The lead alloy is of an uneven light to medium grey colour, with the darker areas corresponding to along the break in the object. It measures 35.45 mm diameter, 2.27 mm thick and weighs 17.9 grams.
