Description: | A two-part cast lead cloth seal of probable early sixteenth century date. The cloth seal measures 26.16mm by 23.77mm by 6.84mm and weighs 10.81g. It is corroded and part of the second disc is folded back on itself. The exterior of disc 1 has a large X. It is plausible although unlikely that the X represented the Roman numeral for 10 (perhaps indicating a specification of the length of the cloth in yards or its weight in pounds). Some other coding is more probable. On the exterior of disc 2 (on the rivet) there is a crown over a single, seeded rose. The legend is illegible.
