Description: | Large, nearly complete lead cloth seal measuring (without connecting strip) 24 x 26 mm. Disc 2 is broken but mostly complete; it is stamped with a design of two rampant ?lions with their tongues and feet touching, perhaps combatant, with initials (TH?) beneath. All is contained within a beaded border. Disc 1 is apparently unstamped. Although the design looks heraldic, denoting perhaps an official seal, the initials may point instead to a privy seal of a clothier, weaver or searcher. Probably 16th or 17th century.
