Two large rim sherds of a large hollesley medieval coarse ware bowl with thumbed decorative border below the rim. When complete the rim diameter of this bowl would have been circa 40cm.

The two sherds now measure 95mm by 132mm and 68mm by 105mm in size. Hollesley ware was in use from the late 13th-14th centuries.

Object type: CLOTH SEAL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A lead stamped cloth seal. In England seals of this type were in use from the late 14th to the early 19th centuries and were used to mark cloths for commercial sale (Egan 1994, p1). Of this cloth seal two discs survive, neither have a rivet, these two discs are therefore almost certainly the two inner discs, discs 2 and 3, from a four-part seal. These discs measure 15mm in diameter. On one of them the word IPSWICH can be read near its edge, there are the remains of other letters on this disc none of which can be clearly seen. No stamp can be seen at all on the other disc.
