Description: | A complete Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular bale seal. The seal is formed from two circular discs folded back-to-back with an integral rectangular attachment strip linking the two discs. One disc has an A in relief with an annulet placed above, below, to the left and to the right. The A has a flat bar across the top and a downward pointing chevron bar across the middle. The other side has a central circular plug pushed through from the other side, over which a design has been impressed. It is not possible to resolve the design but a common motif used alongside the A is a pinecone.The A stands for Augsburg, Germany. Seals from the fustians of Augsburg are among the most common and widespread of all recorded imports in England according to Egan. This example is similar to nos. 308-10 in his book 'Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum'.
