Description: | An incomplete lead alloy two-part cloth seal dating to the post-medieval period. The main part of the seal is broadly circular in plan with the remains of the short arm that connected to the second part of the seal. The second part of the seal is much smaller than the first and is sub-circular in plan. On this second part a few letters are visible over two lines; '..O S.../ T..' but the inscription is too fragmentary to decipher. This is the only marking on the seal; the larger part is plain. Cloth seals would have been secured to rolls of cloth or other goods and would usually indicate the origin of the goods and that the appropriate taxes had been paid. This type dates from the 16th to 18th century AD.
