In the centre is the top of a cut notch which would have formed the top of the motif within the seal. Around the edge of the object is a legend which is largely missing apart from a cross potent and a colon at the start of the legend. To the rear of the object is a rounded attachment loop which has been damaged. The object has a light cream-brown patina and can be dated from AD 1200-1400AD.Dimensions: 12mm in length, 16mm in width, 7mm thick (including attachment loop), 4.6g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
