A lead-alloy two-disc cloth seal, dating from the post-Medieval period.
The surface of one of the sub-circular discs bears the relief-stamped image of a horse or donkey standing left, grazing. Above the animal, there is an unidentified symbol. The central portion of the other disc bears several letters and appears to have been stamped at least twice, making it impossible to read the legend.
