Title
A Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal from Bocking, Essex (late 16th – 17th century).
Description
English: A Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal from Bocking, Essex (late 16th - 17th century). The cloth seal is comprised of two discs connected by a strip. It has been double struck and this obscures the details. Side one reads: BOKING DEVTCH around the motif crown above a rose, S to one side. Side two reads: WICK [---] BAIES and the design possibly resembles a lamb. This is a cloth seal for baize from Bocking, Essex in the Dutch style. Dimensions: diameter: 47.09mm; length: 53.99mm; thickness: 3.61mm; weight: 32.06g. Identification by Geoff Egan, PAS Finds Advisor Medieval and Post Medieval Artefacts.

Note from Stuart Elton July 2016: Although the legend on this image is difficult to interpret I believe this seal is a parallel to WLO1-13 held by the Bureau of Monuments and Archaeology, city of Amsterdam - see - <a href="http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=22370.">http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=22370.</a> See also Egan, G., PhD Thesis, 1987, seal 5619, p.144. It is an important cloth seal being, perhaps, the only Sandwich Dutch weavers' bay seal found, so far, in England.
