Length 20.0mm, width 12.0mm, thickness 3.9mm, weight 3.74g.The chevron etc could be the Dyers' Company arms of a chevron and three madder bags, making this a late 16th or 17th century London seal indicating the colourant used on the cloth (see Egan's Finds Research Group datasheet no.3 'Leaden CLoth Seals' p4).
