Circular copper alloy seal matrix. The seal has a lozenge shaped suspension loop set on a hexagonally faceted shank on the reverse. The face of the seal bears no legend and instead has a motif deeply cut taking up the entire field. The motif is of a crowned thistle or rose. The crown is nearly identical to the type of crowns seen on the pennies of Edward 1st, Classes 10c-f (1301-10). The crown is arched and the terminals are bifolate however there are no ornaments.

Circular lead seal matrix. The reverse of the seal is very worn and decorated with what looks like a long cross with a pellet in each angle. There is a worn, incomplete suspension loop on the reverse. The face of the seal is decorated with a hole in the centre and eight triangular shaped cells projecting from it, probably representing the rays of the sun. The surrounding legend reads: +:S'LVCIE F' ROB. The inscription therefore reads Seal of Lucy, daughter of Robert.
