Description: | A substantially complete round medieval lead seal matrix. The seal matrix has a reverse lug (now somewhat abraded) at the head of a raised cross, with a raised crosslet in each of the lower cantons. The edge is tapered such that the front describes a larger circle than the rear. The seal matrix has an incised legend around the circumference, within outer and inner incised circles, that reads: S'LETIAIEFIL'SIMOIS (seal of Laetitia daughter of Simon). In the centre is a depiction of an eight-pointed star. The seal matrix is in good condition. It is likely to date from the 12th or 13th centuries.
