Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal. It consists of two discs, one smaller and one bigger. The two discs are fused together with the remains of the connecting strip attached to them. The smaller disc has a design of an anchor enclosed in a ring with ??LEEDS?? stamped in relief under it. There is further, mainly illegible writing above the anchor, possibly ??S[W]ANN D (??NR??)??. This was probably the manufacturer??s name. This seal from Leeds and probably dates from 1700-1850AD. A similar example on the database is NLM-BEC745. Although it has a different design, is constructed the same way and also carries a shield of Leeds. On the reverse of the larger disc are scratched marks, possibly ??b[-] / 47??. These are probably codified details of the goods being transported. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
