Description: | A Post Medieval cloth seal probably dating from AD 1500 - 1700. This seal is a single disc from a probable 4 disc seal. It has an integral rivet on the reverse which would have passed through the hole in the fourth disc and then been stamped to fix the seal in place. The design on the obverse is of a fleece with an illegible legend in a beaded border. On the reverse, a few letters are visible on the rivet, probably "LY". A hanging sheep or the golden fleece is the symbol for Leeds and it seems likely that this is a seal from a company/ person involved in the cloth trade in Leeds. Compare DUR-AE5581 and YORYM-D45BF4.
