Description: | lead cloth seal in the form of a single circular flange 19mm in diameter and 1mm thick, with a smaller disc attached centrally to the back giving an overall thickness of 4mm at that point. A small process at the outer edge of the larger disc suggests that there was a linking bar which has snapped off. This larger disc bears on its surface a motif of a pine-cone or pineapple, with a beaded bar crossing its base, and three large lobes or leaves issuing like a very thick fleur de lis below. Around the margins of the disc are a series of five-pointed stars or mullets. The small disc attached to the back also has decorative or other relief-work on its surface, being part of an over- barred capital letter A with a dipping or V-shaped crossbar. This is a post-mediaeval cloth-seal.
