Description: | A two disc lead alloy cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. It is formed from two lead discs held together by a central rivet and joined at the top by a short rectangular connecting strip. One disc preserves moulded decoration depicting the letter A with a crown above with a crowned C to one side. The reverse is plain. This example is of probable 16th to 17th century AD date and the letter A may suggest a continental origin, perhaps Augsburg, Germany - Reference: Egan; Lead cloth seals and related items in the British Museum, British Museum Occasional Papers, (1995) p.106). There is a similar example on the PAS database cf SF-E71212. Dimensions: diameter 23.35mm; weight 13.14g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
