Description: | A disc from a lead cloth seal of late 16th to 17th century AD. Geoff Egan (pers. comm.) has identifed this as "....a seal in the tradition of those used by immigrant Low-Countries weavers in north Essex and south Suffolk".
The sub-circular disc measures 26.2mm in diameter, 1.9mm thick and weighs 8.17g. The stamped relief design on the upper surface bears a central image of uncertain nature, but possibly depicting a thatched building behind a field (?of sheep). The legend has a beaded border on each side, extends clockwise from approximately 1 o'clock and reads ':SERGE [CORDU]ROYS:', indicating that it was attached to a bundle of coarse wollen cloth. The seal is badly damaged and corroded. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
