Description: | An incomplete post-medieval cast lead cloth seal of early 18th-century date. A disc partially survives from what was probably a four-disc seal from the series featuring a monarch's head. As Egan (1994, 60) states, the relief designs on these alnage seals are characterised by fine detail resulting from well-engraved dies. The disc bears a female bust facing left, that of Queen Anne (1702-14 AD). The bust is seemingly surrounded by a border of short raised transverse lines and no legend. There is evidence for a loop at one point below the bust. The cloth seal has been bent and has corroded, more so on its upper surface. Contemporary cloth seals can be found illustrated in Egan 1994 (178; ref. 145ff.). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
