A lead post medieval cloth seal, probably a bag seal, dating to the period c. AD 1540 - 1750. The seal comprises a circular bi-convex disc, both faces of which feature a raised design of a cross with all four arms of roughly equal length. The seal is pierced through the sides so that the piereced holes follow the line of the raised cross design on either face. These would have originally accomodated fabric ties. It is squashed out of shape on one side, which has caused the design to become slightly skewed.
