Description: | A lead alnage cloth seal of early 18th century AD date.
It is unclear whether this is a two disc seal or half of a four disc seal. The remaining circular discs measure 13.7mm in diameter and are joined by a folded connecting strip. One side of the piece bears the image in relief of the bust of Queen Anne facing left. The legend runs clockwise from 7 o'clock and reads: AN. SCO: F.ET.HI[B.....On the reverse is the image of a crowned thistle; the letter 'J' is in the left field and 1/2 (the duty in pence) is in the right field. The images on both sides are contained within a border or closely-spaced dashes.
The object measures 1.5mm thick and weighs 2.54g. | 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: | 1702
