Description: | Incomplete Post Medieval mould for lead cloth seal. This is a dark grey stone mould that has the beginnings of a mould for lead cloth seals carved into it. However, the mould has broken during the drilling of the hole for the rivet of the seal, splitting the end off and been discarded. The mould is therefore incomplete without the adjoining tab that would have connected the ring and the rivet. The backing for the rivet has been marked out but not carved in yet and toolmarks are visible on the completed ring mould.The mould is rectangular in shape with a jagged break at one end. The upper surface has the start of the design carved into it, while the lower surface is undecorated. The break has delaminated a section of the back splitting along a fault in the stone and terminating in a hinge fracture. One of the sides preserves the linear saw marks from cutting the stone and the other seems to have the reverse impression of a fossil.Diameter of Ring mould: 14.53mm, Diameter of broken rivet: 5.72mm.Length: 43.74mmWidth: 23.96mmThickness: 12.43mmWeight: 26.96g
