Description: | A two-part cast lead cloth seal of probable late fifteenth or early sixteenth century date. The diameter of both discs is around 17-18mm, the seal is 6.49mm thick and it weighs 6.24g. The exterior of the first disc has a large letter F with angled upper corners and a rose to the right. The exterior of the second disc possibly also has a large letter F although this is unclear. The letter F was used from 1474 to indicate a textile with minor faults that were significant enough to have the customer's attention drawn to them in this way (pers. comm. Geoff Egan).
