Description: | A broken fragment of a Post Medieval, lead alloy, cast, clothier 'weaver' / 'searches' seal with privy mark. One disc only without a rivet hole, flat and roughly circular in shape but with two or three straight possibly cut edges. Initials 'VVV' or a 'W' mark and possible letters or numbers below. The double 'W' could indicate a Norwich origin. It has a blank inside surface. The seal is in rather worn condition with grey, matt surface. This is likely to date to C16th-C18th. Ref.
