Description: | A two-part cast lead cloth seal of probable late fifteenth or early sixteenth century date. The corroded and damaged cloth seal measures 23.87mm by 19.24mm by 4.05mm and weighs 6.17g. It has slightly square flans. The exterior of disc 1 has a crude ornate shield with the arms of England, possibly with a rose and sun to the sides. The exterior of disc 2 appears to have a doublestuck letter F, with a rose to the right. 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
