Description: | A corroded and slightly bent post-medieval lead-alloy cloth seal (c. 17th-century). It is a two-part, probable alnage seal. The lower surface of disc 1 has a circumferential legend in low relief: '[...]AIN[...]EDAGE', with the letters 'DON' towards the base, opposite the connecting strip. Towards the centre are the stamped incuse numerals '71', misaligned, with a letter 'N' in low relief to their left. The integral rivet of disc 1 has been pushed through the central aperture of disc 2 and squashed into a large sub-oval form. The surface of disc 2 around it is seemingly plain. Disc 2 has stamped incuse letters, generally over the rivet: 'S S/D C?'. The connecting strip survives apparently at 12 o'clock to the lettering, twisted slightly to the side.
