CLOTH SEAL

Unique ID: DYFED-346017

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

One half of a lead teardrop shaped bale seal. The front depicts a rampant lion and crown, a simplification of the Dutch coats of arm. The other side has a small depression and the number '524' raised, which is probably a control number. The seal is fairly worn, and the patina is pale grey/cream.

Inscription: 524
