Workflow stage: Published
Oval lead seal matrix. The legend around the edge of the face is very worn, but perhaps reads [ ]IHA[?EL] F' ABR[ ]. The centre of the face has a worn elongated motif. The reverse of the object has a raised floral motif. The object is pierced, however this intrudes the outer legend and therefore would appear not to be an original feature.
