Description: | Medieval or post medieval lead alloy two-disc type cloth seal. Both discs and the connecting strip survive although they have broken around the rivet. The piece has a raised stamped designs on both faces, now not fully clear. One (the disc with the hole) appears to have a central upright line, expanded at the top, possibly with a crown at the top a fleur de lis (or spur rowel) to the left and possibly a C or G to the right. The other disc (with the integral rivet) appears to have a possible bust or crowned letter with a star to one side. There is no clear impression of the cloth on the inner side. It is 17.2mm in diameter, 26.3mm long including the connecting strip, 3.9mm thick and it weighs 7.28 grams.From the limited amount of the design visible it has not been possible to identify it but the general style is similar to seals dating to the post-medieval period.
