Title
BUCKLE
Description
English: A fragment of a Post-Medieval lead cloth seal dating to the period c. AD 1500 - 1700

The surviving part consists of two incomplete discs with an integral rivet extending from the reverse of one, threading through a circular hole on the second and then being stamped flat over to hold them together. The connecting strip for these seals is missing as is the the a large portion of disc 2.

Disc 1, the un-pierced disc is circular in plan. Its outside surface is plain and undecorated. Disc 2 is may have been circular in plan however, all that now survives is an oval section that was squashed flat together with the rivet. The surviving outer surface, which is mostly represented by the rivet, may have been decorated but too little detail can now be identified.

The cloth seal is an off white colour 

The cloth seal is 18.8mm in diameter, 4.3mm thick and weighs 5.45 grams.

Cloth Seals are typically used between the 16th and 18th century. This was probably a cloth seal used by a clothier, weaver, dyer or searcher.
