Description: | A lead disc from a post-Medieval cloth seal. The disc is circular in plan and has an attached portion of the connecting strip. The upper surface bears a relief-stamped mark comprising two letter 'C's, arranged back-to-back. Above the letters is a crown, while below the letters is a probable number '3', which may originally have formed part of the date [16]3[4]. The bent and corroded artefact measures 17.2mm in diameter, 1mm thick and weighs 1.63g.Although there is no known parallel for this piece, it would appear to be an alnage seal, probably dating from the reign of Charles I (1625-1649).
