Title: CLOTH SEAL [Go to resource]
Description: A lead alloy cloth seal, probably of post medieval date, AD 1550 - 1750. Originally it consisted of two or more discs, one with an integral fastening rivet and the other with a central perforation. The perforated disc has broken away and is missing. The outer side of the remaining disc carries the impression of two characters, a plain cross, followed by what may be a letter A. On the reverse a casting rib and thick projection in the centre (the rivet) can be seen. The seal is 17.4mm in diameter and 5.9mm thick. It weighs 5.25gm. Compare YORYM-8A0FA1 and IOW-6DDF96.
