IOW-8C2401 Medieval Personal Seal Matrix |
||
| Description |
English: A complete Medieval copper-alloy personal seal matrix (c. 1200-c. 1400).
The object is flat at the front and slightly convex at the rear. It has a suspension hole at 12 o' clock, 4.2mm in diameter. At the centre, within a grooved circle, is a sun with five wavy rays. The inscription, outside the circle around the margin, reads: S' WILLI DE NETERVILE: Silver is visible around the suspension loop at the rear and small specks are visible elsewhere. It is possible that the seal was originally coated in silver. This seal has a mid-green patina overall and is much more worn at the rear than at the front. Diameter: 27.0mm; thickness: 2.6mm. Weight: 9.82g. 'Netervile' may be Netherfield, the name of a hundred in Sussex and a parish in Nottinghamshire. The Sussex Netherfield is first recorded as Nadrefeld - an open place infested by snakes (EPNS Sx 471). A family called de Netherfield appears to have settled in Ireland about the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion, and settled in the counties of Dublin and Meath, the name altering slightly to Netterville or Neterville. Luke Netterville was Archbishop of Armagh in the early part of the 13th century.This name does not appear to have come from the Sussex Netherfield (Chris Whittick, pers. comm.) |
