Description: | A lead-alloy post-medieval cloth seal from the Low Countries (16th to 17th century AD). This upper disc is sub-circular and on its upper surface features a design stamped in low relief. It depicts a haloed St Peter standing facing right holding a large key in each hand. Within a beaded border is the partial inscription: 'ST?... PEETER'. The disc was not large enough to take all of the stamp and as a result most of the border is not included. The inner face has a zigzag imprint of fabric - a striped twill. The stub of a loop survives just off centre. The representation of St Peter and the Low-Germanic spelling help identify this cloth seal as having originated in Turnhout (modern Belgium). Inscription: ST?... PEETER | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
