Description: | A complete two disc lead cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. It consists of two lead discs of identical size held together by a central lead rivet and joined at the top by a small rectangular connecting strip. The upper disc has moulded decoration that consists of the letter S over the top of what looks to be a large letter M or perhaps a T and an H, all within a wreath. The lower disc is also decorated with a symbol that resembles a number 7 within a wreath. The seal measures 16.72mm in diameter and weighs 5.30g. This is probably a clothier or weaver's seal and similar examples are noted in Egan (1995: pp. 182, nos. 229-231). This example dates to the 16th or 17th centuries AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
