Description: | An incomplete two disc lead cloth seal of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. One near complete circular disc survives, along with the small lead rivet connecting the two discs, however the second disc is missing due to old breaks. The seal measures 21.69mm in diameter and weighs 4.40g. The near complete disc depicts a fleur-de-lis. Fleur-de-lis are found on numerous examples of cloth seals ranging in date from the Medieval period of the 15th-16th centuries, through to the Post-Medieval period of the 17th-18th centuries. See for example: Egan, 1995: nos. 52, 108, 124-125 and 165. It is probable that this example dates to between the 14th and 18th centuries AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
