Lead Medieval seal matrix, c.1200- 1400.
It was originally vesica shaped but has broken almost in half. It is also bent so that the edges now curve slightly downwards. The central motif appears to be either a corn ear or another plant. The inscription reads 'S'INCH....' So it is a person seal, unfortunately not enough of the legend can be made out to work out who owned it.
On the reverse, near to the top is a small rounded loop, now filled with mud.
