Title
Medieval seal matrix
Description
English: Medieval seal matrix, flat with median rib ending in pierced lug on reverse. Pointed oval, 41 x 25mm. Arm in sleeve holding crozier with crescent moon to left and star to right. + CONTRAS' ABATI DE PONTE ROB'I· (Counterseal of the Abbot of Robertsbridge). The Ns are retrograde. A counterseal (contrasigillum, Latham 1965, 112) was impressed on the reverse of the wax as a corroboration of the owner's principal seal (Harvey and McGuinness 1996, 9). The Cistercian Abbey of Robertsbridge in Sussex was founded in 1176. A known early 13th-century counterseal is not impressed with this matrix (british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=36589).
