Description: | A two-part cast lead cloth seal of sixteenth century date. The cloth seal measures 24.34mm by 19.99mm by 4.24mm and weighs 10.02g. The exterior of disc 1 is blank. The exterior of disc 2 shows a crown over a large, thin letter F with a fleur de lis to each side. Around this in thick Lombardic lettering, is the legend ..[AO]' VEAL. TAVNTO[N], indicating that the seal came from Taunton in Somerset. The letter F was used from 1474 to indicate a textile with minor faults that were significant enough to have the customer's attention drawn to them in this way (pers. comm. Geoff Egan). | 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
