Description: | Part of a post medieval four-part lead bag seal with a five square ended star shape for the disc. There is a partial legend : [N]TON (reversed N) for Taunton, Somerset, and a partial date [16]76. A similar cloth seal was found in London and was suggested to have come from a Taunton serge. According to Egan...'A similar Taunton seal for 1677 (having star-shaped inner parts) was found on the Drummond Plantation site at Jamestown (Virginia, U.S.A - M. Outlaw pers. comm.), and another from the series, for 1674 and with SOMERSET, was excavated in Stockholm (Dahlback 1982, 273 fig. 255f) (Egan 1995: 51, no. 98).
