Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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. Normally medieval seals have a central motif but unfortunately this is a worn example and the circular perforation in the centre (which is likely to be a later addition) obliterates what we might be able to see of the motif. The seal measures 31.6mm in length, 28mm in width and 3.7mm in…
