Description: | A lead two-disc cloth seal of probable late 16th to 18th century AD date. Similar seals have been found in London and are suggested by Geoff Egan to be clothiers', weavers' or searchers' personal seals (see, for example, G. Egan; 1995; pp. 80; nos. 211-214).
The seal consists of two sub-circular discs joined by a folded connecting strip. One of the discs has a privy mark in relief, containing the letters "HC". On the other disc is scratched the following: "III" (separated by a horizontal line from) "III".
The discs measure 21.3mm in diameter; the seal is 4mm thick and weighs 10.48g. | 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
