Description: | Cast lead alnage cloth seal, attached to roll of cloth rather than bale, depicting the bust of Queen Anne (1702-1714), facing left, on the obverse with the legend FIDEI DEFEN, and on the reverse, an early shield with three lions passant within it and 1 and ?? on either side of it. This meant that three halfpence were paid to the crown for the attachment of this seal once an ??Alnager?? had checked the roll of cloth for quality and size.
Egan (1994) illustrates a similar example on page 178, Fig.27, No.153. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
