Description: | A four part lead cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. It is formed from four flattened discs joined at the middle by a short rectangular connecting strip. They are folded so that the outer two discs meet and are held together by a central circular flattened rivet. The two inner discs have impressed stamps, one depicting what appear to be the arms of England on a square shield, the opposite disc bearing a legend over three lines that reads SIN/GLE./RIZ[] within a beaded border. The outer discs appear to have no trace of any stamped motifs, although this may be the result of post-depositional wear. It measures 29.48mm in length, 12.94mm in width, 6.22mm in thickness, and weighs 7.23g.This is a Post-Medieval cloth seal, the legend presumably refering to the type of cloth to which it was attached. Although no close parallel has as yet been identified this example is likely to date to between c.1600-1800 AD.
