Description: | Small, thin discoidal piece of lead stamped with a heraldic device and possibly residual from a cloth seal or similar merchandise control. It is between 12 and 13mm in circumference and just over 1mm thick. The device was contained within a beaded lozenge of probably 9mm on each side. It consisted of a shield with a crown above. Within the shield a smaller shield is contained centrally, in which stands a creature (possibly a lion) rampant facing dexter. Small trefoils emerge from the margin and corners of the inner shield to occupy the space within the outer shield. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1400
