Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval lead alloy seal matrix, Length: 32 mm, width: 22 mm, thickness: 5.0 mm, weight: 15.38 grams. The matrix has a pointed oval form and is rectangular in cross section. It has a moulded 'Fleur De Lis' filling its reverse, which is contained within a slightly raised linear border and it has a semi-circular suspension lug at one edge. Unusually the matrix is blank and there is a slight fault at one side, suggesting that this has been discarded as a failed casting?
