Description: | Lead cloth seal In the form of two large discs 29mm in diameter: the 'tongue' or rivet of one has passed through the centre of the other and has been pressed down to the level of its surface when the seal impression was stamped upon it. The seal consists of a circular frame with the letters BH within, with a tall bar, possibly the upright of a tall thin T, between. Below these letters appears a form like 'XX', though in fact this is a V with an inverted V over it, on the apex of which the tall central upright bar is standing. That is therefore probably the merchant mark. Probably 17th-18th century. On the reverse side, which is mostly plain, there is a deeply-punched number 5, made with a typographical punch, and also two scratched letters which may be Zs or Ns. | 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: | 1650
