Absolute fav for this week’s #FindsFriday. On back of #greatbritishdig episode in Nottingham and discussions of Robin Hood, here is a stunning seal matrix of marcher lord and hero of medieval romance, Fulk FitzWarin. Look away @jpwarchaeology you know what’s coming!😃🧵1/
Matrix depicts helmeted knight (FitzWarin) on horseback, charging right with shield in left hand and sword raised in right. The image is so well detailed that mail, folds in the surcoat, shield and swordbelt strap and the slit and grill in the helmet are all clearly visible. 2/ 
Shield bears the arms of FitzWarin, Quarterly per fess indented argent and gules. Horse wears a high saddle and its mane has been plaited. Bridle and reins are clearly visible and the strap across its chest is decorated with hanging harness pendants in the shape of crosses. 3/
