Description: | A single lead disc, probably from a cloth seal. The disc is so worn as to be illegible on the reverse and on the other side has the arms of the London Guildhall (a shield divided by shaded ridged cross with a sword in the upper left quadrant) with a wreath below. Similar discs have been found dating to the seventeenth century (often with an angel on the reverse, which this disc may have) and in one case has been interpreted as having some function other than that of cloth seals (Egan 1995, 43 no. 69). However this may be an inner disc from a four-disc seal. It appears to have been folded.
