Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Newport
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near complete cast lead object, likely a crude seal matrix of Medieval date (c.1200-1500AD). The object is flat and sub-circular with a crude raised rib (4mm thick), with a broken central lug on the reverse. The matrix is decorated with a design of radiating lines. There is no inscription.

It may have been a toy, imitation or practice piece, or simply a seal matrix for a purpose that did not require complex designs or an inscr…
