Description: | A lead searchers seal. The seal is small at 17 mm in diameter. It is comprised of two discs of lead linked with a lead tab and then folded over to secure the seal to cloth. A stamped impression is discernable on the exterior of one disc. It reads 4 J W with a heart pierced by what appear to be two crossed cutlasses underneath. This is a personal reference as opposed to any royal device. The seal dates from the late 16th to the 18th century. Similar examples are illustrated in Egan (1994, page 183; fig 32).
