Title
An incomplete post medieval lead alloy cloth seal probably dating to the 17th century.
Description
English: An incomplete post medieval lead alloy cloth seal probably dating to the 17th century. This is likely a four part cloth seal, though only one of the lozenge shaped discs and part of the connecting strip remain. There is no evidence of a hole or a rivet on this disc. The plate is stamped with the royal shield of England, consisting of a flat topped shield in quarters with three lions passants in opposing quarters with a harp in the bottom left quarter and a lion rampant in the top right. The letters "C" and "R" are either side of the shield. There is no crown above the shield. There is a twisted rope lozenge-shaped border around the motif. his seal dates to the late 16th - early 17th century.

A similar cloth seal is recorded on the PAS database see LON-C2DF82, however there are slight differences in the shield and it has a crown above.

Dimensions: length: 23.43 mm; width: 16.48 mm; thickness: 1.62 mm; weight: 2.21 g.
