Description: | A worn lead two part cloth seal of Post-Medieval date. It comprises two circular discs joined by a central rivet that is integral to one disc and pierces the front face of the other, and with a rectangular connecting strip at one end. Disc one carries a large crowned portcullis flanked by the initials E R, probably for Elizabeth I (c.1558-1603 AD). Disc two has an uncertain motif within an inner circle, possibly with traces of a surrounding legend, but this is now uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 28.51mm in length, 19.54mm in width, 3.35mm in thickness, and 7.30g in weight. This is a worn lead cloth seal. The initials E R suggest it dates to the reign of Elizabeth I, c.1558-1603 AD, with similar examples noted on the PAS database (e.g. NMS-4333F2, IOW-C94DC2 or LIN-DA5901).
