Description: | One lead disc of an incomplete German cloth seal. The disc depicts the Wesel design of two crowned 'B's, with a floral design below. There appears to be a legend around the edge of the seal, however this is worn and illegible. A similar example in Egan p193 figure 42, 316 had the legend +FINN.BOMAINBN.DER.WESEL. The reverse of the disc is blank. The disc has been bent and reshaped. It has a diameter of 36.07mm and is 2.47mm thick. There is a break at the apex, where the arm of the seal would have been bent. It is probably from a two disc cloth seal dating from the late 16th to early 17th century.
