The reverse appears blank.A similar cloth seal is illustrated in Egan (1994) p.174, fig.23, no.95 and is described as a Dutch community tubular seal from Norwich. The numerals on such examples relate to the length of the cloth in yards while the other side is likely to have born the stamped name of Norwich.The cloth seal is 24.9mm long, 18.4mm wide, 2.6mm thick and weighs 8g.A similar cloth seal has also been recorded on the PAS database as NMS-95CA14.
