An incomplete and probably unfinished, cast lead pointed oval seal matrix dating from the Medieval period, about AD 1200 - 1400. It is a pointed oval shape in plan (vesica shaped) with a short rectangular projection at one end. It appears to have been mis-cast as there is a strengthening rib on the reverse but no suspension loop or handle. The matrix face is uneven but does not appear to have been cut with any design or inscription. It is 37.2mm long, 20.9mm wide and 6mm thick. It weighs 19.6g.

A complete circular copper alloy seal matrix dating from the medieval period, about AD 1200 - 1400. The central device is a wide cross saltire with a fleur de lis in the upper angle. The inscription is corroded and difficult to read, so it is not clear if it is a personal matrix or not. The letters are possibly "*(E)STOR(IDO)[-]S". The reverse is plain and has a D shaped handle lug at one side, perforated with a circular hole.  Measurements: diameter 15.9mm, thickness 4.1mm, weight 4.8g

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper-alloy circular ring, probably a harness ring, dating from the Medieval to Post-medieval period, about AD 1100 - 1700. The sub-circular ring is hexagonal in cross-section and has a varying width across the frame. The object has a dark grey patina and there are visible filemarks. Measurements are; 26.6mm diameter, 20.6mm inetrnal diameter, 2.4mm thick and 2.7g. Geake suggests that though the function of rings like this are typically undiagnostic, the cross-section indicates a medieval dating. See more at https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsrecordingg…
