Description: | Cast & hammered circular lead disc that probably formed part of a two-part cloth seal. The reverse is plain and the front carries a trefoil design.
Cloth seals were used to mark bales of cloth to indicate their provenance, quality or as an indicator that the correct taxes or dues had been paid.
Seals of this type are typically dated to the late Medieval period through to the early Post-Medieval era, c.1400-1700 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
