Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast lead personal seal matrix dating to the Medieval period, c. 1200-1300. Only the very top of the seal now survives, which originally would have taken the form of a flat pointed oval (vesica shape). The remains of a suspension lug or handle project from the object's upper surface. Most of the die is broken away and the central design is unclear, though a small portion of the legend is visible and can be read as: *S' ST[.....] (Seal of St(ephen?)......). Preserved in poor condition with a rather crumbly grey patina, it survives to a length of 16.31mm, 17.51mm wide at i…

A complete cast lead-alloy weight of probable late Medieval or early Post-Medieval date, c. 1400-1600. It is circular in plan and slightly plano-convex in section.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy stud originating from a strap fitting of probable Medieval date, c. 1200-1500.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy brooch or fastener dating to the Medieval period, c. 1150-1400.
