Description: | An incompete lead cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. It is formed from two lead discs held together by a central rivet and joined at the top by a short rectangular connecting strip. One disc preserves moulded decoration but is incomplete due to old breaks. This depicts the letter A with a crown above and a second incomplete and uncertain letter to the right. The opposite face is complete but worn and it is uncertain whether it was once decorated. The entire object measures 21.55mm in length, 13.95mm in width, and weighs 2.83g. This example is of probable 16th to 17th century AD date and the letter A may suggest a continental origin, perhaps Augsburg, Germany (see Egan, 1995: p. 106). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
