Description: | A small Post-Medieval lead cloth seal. It comprises a flat disc with a sub-oval shaped hole on the reverse, presumably indicating where a lead rivet would have been pushed through the centre. The upper surface has traces of decoration comprising a flower (rose?) with branches/leaves at either side all within what appears to be an inner circle. There may have once been lettering around the outside of the decoration, however this is now illegible. The entire object measures 14.35mm in width, 12.13mm in length, and weighs 1.92g. The use of a rose and thistle plant is noted on Post-Reformation four part seals (Egan, 1995: 68, no. 158). It is plausible that this example is of similar date, perhaps as late as the 18th century.
