Description: | Disc 1 from a two-part cast lead cloth seal of probable late fifteenth or early sixteenth century date. The fragment measures 21.16mm by 20.28mm by 3.03mm and weighs 4.24g. The exterior of the disc has a crude crown over an ornate shield with the arms of England, and there is a possibly another device to the right. On the rivet there is a large letter F, possibly with a sun to the right. 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).
