Title
13th century personal lead seal matrix
Description
English: Medieval seal matrix; Cast lead, pointed oval, personal seal matrix of probable 13th century date. The matrix is formed of a broad, flat, pointed oval plate of lead with the seal design carved into one side. The back has a simple cross crudely scratched into it and has an integral suspension loop formed from a strip of lead. The loop is near to the top point of the seal and has been squashed and bent backwards over time. The seal has a central design of a cross-of-wedges with four further wedges radiation between the arms of the cross. There is also a pointed oval to both the top and bottom of this central design. It reads ‘S’ ROBERTI F[I…]AUNCEWS’ (although I am not certain about the ‘W’) which gives a probable translation of ‘Seal of Robert, son of […]auncews’. There is a small knick missing from the bottom of the seal. This is recent damage. Length 38.5mm, width 22.9mm, thickness (with loop) 12.3mm, thickness (plate) 5.6mm, weight 37.33g
Depicted place (County of findspot) Nottinghamshire
