Description: | An almost-complete Post-Medieval (1600-1700) lead cloth seal, with a little damage to the outer edge of disc one. The cloth seal is of a type associated with imports from Haarlem in the Netherlands of a fine linen known in England as 'holland' (Egan 1994, 110; ref. 321). Disc 1 bears a moulded shield with the city arms: sword erect, four mullets to sides, cross potent in chief. Other similar cloth seals are inscribed around the edge 'HAERLEMS GOET' ('goods from Haarlem'). Disc 2 bears the remains of the numeral '20' in relief, slightly to one side. This figure represents the measured length of the piece in Dutch ells (ibid., 110). An example for cloth of 19.5 Dutch ells can be found illustrated in Egan (1994, 194, ref. 321).Measures 24.76mm in diameter and 30.51mm in length and weighs 12.18g.Sword erect, four mullets to sides, cross potent in chief // 20
