Description: | A lead alloy cloth or bag seal dating from the post medieval period. The seal is a sub-circular disc with a small hole in one side which may continue out the opposite side, but this area is damaged and so it is impossible to tell. One face of the seal carries the letters: (2 K) / G .H, the other has the device of an uneven square-topped shield. The shield contains a plain cross in the centre with three pellets in each angle. The pellets in the upper angles of the cross are grouped in a triangle; those in the lower angles are in a line sloping outwards at the top at 45 degrees to the vertical. It is 18.2mm in diameter and 3.6mm thick. It weighs 6.76gm. The seal may date from the 16th or 17th century when one piece seals were used on British and continental imports (Egan, Finds Research Datasheet).
