Description: | A slightly corroded cast lead-alloy cloth (alnage) seal of post-medieval date (c. 17th century AD). Only one of the pair of discs survives in its entirety. Parts of the other disc survive at the stud, and off centre. At the centre of the main disc are the numerals 'XX' in low relief, with an annulet where they join. This is set within a linear border. The stub on the other face appears to bear a fraction of a shield, proabably that of St George, flanked to the left by the number 4, probably part of a date in the 1640s or 1740s (see 'Notes', below). On the lower surface of the main disc, visible behind the stud, is an impression of the weave, which is quite fine. The circumference of the main disc is slightly abraded.The cloth seal may be from Amersfoort in the Netherlands (Paul Cannon pers. comm. 4th June 2012), see notes below.
