Title
Medieval Seal
Description
English: Incomplete medieval lead seal: half of the original seal survives, broken (as often with papal bullae) along the central line that originally contained the thread attached to the document. The obverse depicts a mounted knight to dexter with a sword in his raised left hand held at an oblique angle behind his head. The horse is caparisoned. The inscription reads ] : IOhAnIS : D'N...OLS .........AS...h[ (John .........). The reverse bears the dexter half of the quartered arms of Castille and Leon: Quarterly 1 and 4 a triple-towered castle (Castille) 2 and 4 a lion rampant. The inscription reads ]STELLE : ...ET...LEGIONIS : [ (Castile and Leon). Diam.57mm. 7mm thick. Weighs 67.41g. This is likely to be the seal of either John I (1379-90) or John II (1406-54) of Castile and Leon. Further reseach is ongoing.
