A medieval seal matrix discovered by a metal detectorist is "a window into someone's spiritual world just before the Black Death", an expert has said.
The "completely unique" gilded silver object, found in a field north of Norwich, probably belonged to a monk.
Its inscription "I beseech thee, holy sun of righteousness, be the way" has not been found on any other object, according to historian Helen Geake.
"It's a really sophisticated object with a really good design," she said. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-67400956
