Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Medieval flat pointed-oval lead seal matrix dating to the 13th century. The seal has a personal inscription reading: + SIG ' AVINE (seal of Avine). Avine was a popular woman's name in the medieval period and survives in modern times as 'Aveline'. It derives from the Latin 'avis' meaning bird.

The seal measures 31.6mm in length, 28mm in width and 3.7mm in…
