Description: | Post Medieval cast lead cloth seal. This complete seal is comprised of two small outer discs and two larger inner discs of 46.03mm diameter, with cast designs. The front of the cloth seal depicts a standing winged angel in male dress with an extended right arm surrounded by a beaded circle and IOHN KIGHLEY around. The reverse depicts a left facing bird. The front of the seal has a direct parallel from Braintree, see Egan 1994 page 27 & 162 figure 11.19. The folded seal is 69.26mm long witha maximum thickness of 9.76mm. The seal has a dull grey appearance, with some white residue on the inner surface. The seal most likely dates from the later 16th century, however it may have a later date as the angel figure is possibly a copy of a 1630's london copper alloy seal depicting an standing angel. | 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
