Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MODERN
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
An almost complete cast lead seal matrix of Modern date (c. AD 1850 - c. AD 1920). Diameter 46.8mm, thickness 5.0mm. Weight 53.53g. The seal was used to impress a trader's name and a weight in pounds. It is circular in plan and small portions of the edges are missing due to modern breaks. At the centre, within an indented circle (diameter 28.5mm), is the weight marked in pounds (lb). However, this area has an old scuff mark which has obliterated the numeral. It is quite likely to have read 1/8lb. The inscription around the edge reads (from right to left (viewing an impression): IMPE…
