A circular lead seal matrix; there is no trace of a handle. In the centre is a crudely incised crescent and star. Surrounding this is an equally crudely cast legend, some letters of which appear to have been further worked (?with a knife). The inscription S'IOHIS FIL RADULFI can be translated as 'The seal of John Fitz Ralph'. On the back is an incised design formed of curvilinear lines and triangles, the meaning of which is unclear.

A circular seal matrix, edges badly worn and letters largely indecipherable. Central device in good condition. Device of the Agnus Dei: a seated lamb, facing left, looking back over its left shoulder at a staff. The lamb is visibly woolly, with a long tail that reaches to the edge of the lettering area. His left foreleg is folded under him, as is the rear leg, but less close; the animal's hooves are clearly visible. The top of the staff extends into the lettering area, and is the cross which begins the inscription, whilst the base disappears from view behind the lamb's back. A four-tai…
