Description: | Incomplete lead cloth seal. The seal consists of two broken circular panels attached together through a circular eye in the centre of one side. The linking arms are missing. One face of the seal reads: [WOR/STED]/REFOR/MED. The other side has the number 7 visible, with perhaps the number 2 before it. 'Worsted reformed' seals are among the most common and widely found of all kinds, attesting to a large national and international market for the late 17th century Norfolk worsteds they represent (Egan, G. 1994, Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum). The number 27 relates to the yardage length of the textile. A very similar example is illustrated on page 173, fig. 22. number 87 in the above publication. | 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
