Description: | A post medieval lead alloy cloth seal. It is made from two lead discs connected by a folded integral strip, possibly with another disc inside, however it is obscured by corrosion. On one of the outer faces of the seal is an eagle with spread wings looking left within a beaded border. The other external face is covered in rows of diagonal lines. The seal has warped and bent, and now measures 45.1mm (length) x 34.4mm (width) x 7.9mm (thickness) and weighs 22.65g.This cloth seal is likely to date from the second quarter of the 17th century AD; the eagle may indicate it is linked to the hanseatic league however it is unclear whether the seal originates from England or the Continent.
