Record ID: WILT-DF3012
Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Very crude lead alloy seal matrix, medieval in date, probably c.13th/ 14th century in date.
The seal matrix is circular in shape (diameter c.32mm) and 6mm thick with a rough line running around the circumference, perhaps suggesting the inscribed surface was a top layer added to the matrix. The seal matrix is squashed to one side.
On the reverse an oval section shank (roughly 8x7mm) extends 25mm and is pushed over to one side, the side of the seal matrix that is squashed.
The inscription reads +SIGILLI WILELMIDE[...], trailing into the squashed area. It is missing c.5 character…

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval lead alloy pointed oval seal matrix, measuring 33.5x22.5x3.5mm and weighing 15.22g. The seal matrix is very worn and damaged.
The reverse is slightly rounded with a broken loop at one end. Extending from it and running down the centre of the reverse is a 2mm, 2mm high rib. To either side at least three tendrils/ curlicues extend, curling around at the end. At the centre of the rib, there is a point which appears to be slightly higher and wider than the rest of the rib.
The opposite face is flat and damages around the edges. The legend is made up of large-ish letters well-space…

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval lead alloy seal matrix, circular and 30mm in diameter. It is 3.5mm thick and weighs 20.54g. On the reverse is a pierced lug 1mm in diameter. The lug is 11mm long, wider and thicker near the top (6x4mm compared to 2mm where it extends from the flat reverse).
At the centre is a pierced pellet, which is at the centre of a cross with a pellet at each end of its four arms. This is inside an insiced circle 18mm in diameter. In each resulting quadrant, and equidistant between each pair of arms, another line extends, splitting as it approaches the circle to curve round in a upside-…
