Description: | Two lead alloy cloth seals probably dating from the 16th or 17th century.The first consists of two discs joined by a strip of metal bent double to form a loop. It is stamped on both sides with roman numerals, one side reading XVIII, and the other XXXX. Compare to SWYOR-5991E5.The second consists of two discs joined by a strip of metal bent double to form a loop, but there is a hole in one disc through which a tab has been passed and then stamped, locking the two discs together. There are faint scratches (possibly intentional) on one face, and a privy mark on the squashed tab. This may be I / H and is similar to number 114 in the Salisbury Catalogue, Volume III (Egan 2001).Both seals have a creamy patina.
