Description: | A post medieval four part lead cloth seal. Two pairs of discs linked by sprue. A lug from one end disc is split like a treasury tag and inserted through the other disc. One disc depicts a quartered shield. The lower left quarter depicts a harp; the other three are unclear. The opposite side of that disc bears letters reading: DO//ZEN//77. The word 'dozen' refers to a woollen cloth originally 12 yards long (Geoff Egan, 1995, 'Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum'. p.145).An identical cloth seal was found in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and is recorded on the PAS database as LIN-803A35.
