Description: | One disc from a two-part lead cloth seal. The front of the disc shows a shield with semy-de-lis, a label with (?towers) on the tags. Geoff Egan notes that on a similar seal (No. 296 the catalogue of "Lead Seals and Related Items in the British Museum") these are the Arms of the County of Artois and (from a second set of arms) that seal is from B??thune.
On the back is a central, sub-circular rivet, by which the seal was attached to the cloth. Around this, the back of the disc has a clear imprint of the weave of the fabric.
