Description: | A lead cloth seal, dating from 1500-1650, of the type used on bales of fustian originating from the Bavarian city of Augsburg. It is a two-part seal, the outer disc being decorated with a capital A and four annulets which are spaced at regular intervals around the letter. The smaller, inner disc, carries traces of a pine cone design, though these are not very clear. The seal measures 18.2mm in diameter and 4.5mm thick. It weighs 4.95gm. An identical example can be found on the database at reference SF-A5F670. See also Egan and Saunders, Salisbury Museum Medieval Catalogue, part 3, figure26, number 150.
