Description: | Almost-complete lead cloth seal, 22 mm in diameter. Disc 2 is fragmentary, but a well-made stamp can be seen with a merchant's mark flanked with a possible T to the left and an A to the right. The mark consists of a figure 4 with long stem that runs between the T and the A to end in a lozenge. The lines of the 4 may be continued beyond the left-hand angle to form an oval above the T, and the horizontal line to the right may be extended to form a cross above the A. Disc 1 is more complete, but the only stamp that this has is the incuse initials OP. A clothier's, weaver's or searcher's privy seal, probably 16th or 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
