Description: | A lead-alloy cloth seal of post-Medieval date.The seal comprises two sub-circular discs and a folded connecting strip. One surface bears a relief-stamped shield of the London Dyers' Company, with a chevron engrailed, three madderbags, and the surrounding legend 'SIG [SOC TI]NCTOR LON[DON]'. The other disc is plain.Dimensions: 32.7mm long, 22.3mm wide, 4.3mm thick. Weight: 13.29g.Similar seals of the London Dyers' Company have been found in London (see Egan 1995: 92-93/fig. 35, nos. 267-268). Dated examples from London range between 1613 and 1634 or 1654; however, Egan suggests that they were probably produced over a longer period than this, probably between the late 16th and late 17th centuries (ibid. 92).
