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/
