Description: | An incomplete cast lead cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. probably late seventeenth or early eighteenth century (c. AD 1650 - c. AD 1750). Diameter 27.0mm, thickness 3.2mm. Weight 10.67g.
A two part seal:
Disc 1 has scratched numerals: 9077/21 (possibly). The two numbers are divided by a scratched horizontal line which extends from one side of the disc to the other. Only part of disc 2 survives. This has part of a design which is now indeterminate. There is a cloth impression on the reverse side of disc 1. Part of the connecting strip on disc 1 has survived.
Although incomplete the seal is in fair condition and has a mid-grey patina.
No analogy found. However compare with a seal in the British Museum Collections (Egan 1994, 84, fig. 32, ref. 234). | 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: | 1650
