Description: | Cast and stamped lead cloth seal. The seal is of the two disc variety with two flat circular parts folded back to back with a connective joining strip. The front shows raised interlocking initials which are probably R H C and the reverse has E I stamped into it.
Cloth seals had multiple uses including to indicate where the cloth was from, the maker's name, the quality of the cloth and sometimes whether the appropriate dues, taxes & levys had been paid.
Seals were in use from the 1300s to the 1800s.
Based on the style of the lettering this seal is likely to date c.1650-1750. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
