Description: | Fragment of lead alloy cloth seal. This fragment represents nearly half of what would have been a circular seal. Currently semicircular in plan, it is 32.38mm long, 22.24mm wide, 2.62mm thick and weighs 10.76g. The face of the seal is decorated with the partial, moulded design of the winged and nimbate Lion of St Mark, surrounded by a border with an illegible inscription. Presumably the goods that this was attached to came from Venice. The reverse is plain. The surface is slightly worn and the patina is light grey.It probably dates to the post medieval period. | 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: | 1500
