Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Medieval lead seal matrix

Medieval lead seal matrix of mid-12th or 13th century date of sub-circular form, near-complete but wiht a distroed lug ( distorted depth of 7.6mm and a weight of 13.4g). The D-shaped lug is positioned at the apex of the rear and has a central perforation. The seal die is oval and the central device depicts a potent cross with a pellet between each of the arms. The encircling legend is in Lombardic script and apears to read:

S IEVANVAPGRON` Seal of Ieuan son of Gron [ ]
