Description: | The second disc from a two-part cast lead cloth seal of probable late sixteenth century date. The cloth seal has a diameter of 25.39mm and weighs 4.04g. There is a fringe of extra metal around the disc and on the interior surface there is the imprint from a coarse textile. On the external surface part of the legend is visible. The Lombardic lettering reads [COM] DORS[..], indicating that the seal came from Dorset. The missing central rivet was probably decorated with a crown over a squarish device, possibly a portcullis. | 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: | 1550
