Description: | Disc 1 from a two-part cast lead cloth seal of probable late fifteenth or early sixteenth century date. The surviving disc has a diameter of 20mm, it is 4.6mm thick and weighs 4.7g. The exterior of the disc has a crown over a fleur de lis, with a sun below to the right. Part of the surrounding legend can be seen faintly (? BC..DI PA...). On the interior of the disc there is the imprint from a coarse textile. On the rivet there appears to be a large letter F. 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: | 1474
