Description: | A post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal, probably 17th to 18th century. It consists of two discs ?? one smaller and one bigger. The two discs are fused together, with the smaller disc decorated with what is likely to be the makers mark. The larger disc bears scratches on the underside (possibly 23?) and on the side fused to the smaller disc, it has a cross hatch print ?? possibly from the cloth, created upon pressing. The two discs also have remains of the connecting strip attached to them. The strip remains on the two discs are at opposite ends to each other. It is 21.50mm x 16.90mm x 3.52mm, and 5.46g. It has a light green patina. Other examples can be seen in the Salisbury Medieval Catalogue: part 3 p.78-86. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
