Description: | Complete cast lead cloth seal of fourteenth to early sixteenth century date (AD 1300 ? AD 1525). Length 20mm, diameter of discs about 14mm. Weight 6.95g. The seal is a two part seal with sprue attached. The impressions on both discs are vague and not easily identifiable. Disc 1 has an unidentifiable image above roman-style lettering and disc 2 has a small cross pommee below which is a blackletter initial, probably standing for the place of origin. Both sides appear considerably incompletely struck and perhaps multiply struck. This may be the earliest cloth seal to have been recorded from the Isle of Wight. | 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: | 1300
