Title
cloth seal dating to the late 17th century within the reign of King William III
Description
English: An incomplete lead-alloy cloth seal dating to the late 17th century within the reign of King William III (AD 1689-1702). The cloth seal would have been a four part cloth seal made of four discs connected by linear tabs with a rivet projecting from one outside disc and a hole in another allowing these to be joined together. Now only the inner two discs survive which have been folded against one another. Two break can be seen for the extension tabs to the outer discs.

One disc depicts the bust of King William III surrounded by a beaded border with the inscription OF ENG-LAND while the other depicts  a rose with a I above (indicating a duty of one penny) within a beaded border.

The cloth seal is a grey brown colour.

The cloth seal fragment is 19.3mm long, 14.3mm wide (representing the diameter of each disc), c.3.5mm thick when folded and weighs 3.10 grams.

Identical busts to this example are depicted by Elton (2018: 164-5) who identifies these types as cloth seals of William III. A near identical example on the database is SUR-F22E64.
