Title
An incomplete Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal, 16th-17th century.
Description
English: An incomplete Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal, 16th-17th century. The cloth seal has been cast with a raised privy mark on the obverse of the initials R S separated by a cruciform shape with crosslets on each arm. There remain traces of what may have been a circular pellet border around this entire design. The reverse of the seal is undecorated; the transverse gap between the two folded sides is visible around the outside edge. The lead alloy has acquired a dark grey-black patina.

Dimensions: length: 29.03mm; thickness: 4.36mm; diameter: 21.56mm; weight: 10.16g.

Identification and dating by Tony Pilson and Ian Smith based on foreshore context.
