Title
Medieval seal: Seal matrix
Description
English: A lead alloy circular seal matrix dating to the Medieval period. The matrix has the remains of a suspension loop at the top, and is made on a thick flan. There are the remains of finger prints on the reverse, which is otherwise plain. The centre of the seal depicts a bird, possibly a crow, looking backwards over its body to one raised wing, but angled so that it appears on its side if the inscription and suspension loop are set at 12 o'clock. The inscription around the edge reads '+ SIGILL ThOME DA VVERSGVRD', or 'Seal of Thomas of Wersgurd'. The place 'Wersgurd' could not be identified. The seal is in good condition and dates from the later 12th to 13th Century AD.
