Description: | A post medieval cast two-part lead cloth seal from Ulm in southern Germany. The first disc has a V (the city's initial) over a bull running left and the second disc has the city's arms. These are in the form of a shield, the upper half of which is divided into eight squares (four horizontal by two vertical) each containing a dot. The lower half of the shield is plain. Geoff Egan dates this cloth seal to the sixteenth or seventeenth century and suggests that it was used for a linen or half linen textile. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
