A post medieval lead cloth seal probably issued during the reign of George I. Part of a four-disc seal featuring the monarch's head and the legend DEFEN FIDEI (Defender of the Faith). The seal comprises four discs in two conjoined pairs joined in the centre with a rectangular tab. The seal is bent in the centre at the tab so the pairs of discs are back to back. One of the discs is stamped with the bust of probably George I.
