Incomplete post-medieval lead cloth seal, two-part, sub-circular. The matrix employed was too large for the blank, and as a result the outer part of some of the peripheral legend is missing. I · V and pellets with TAVN[TO]N SEARGE : around and between two circles of pellets // (rivet only) part of uncertain motif with ...IOH... around. Diameter 22.5 - 26mm. The Taunton textile industry was dominant in Somerset from the middle of the 17th century (Egan 1994, 50-1). See NMS-907FE8, a Taunton cloth seal found at Postwick, Norfolk (HER 34967).

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast lead weight, trapezoidal in plan and triangular in profile with a flat rhomboidal base, which is slightly angled so that the weight is only just free-standing. Towards the upper apex of the weight is a central circular aperture that is 6 mm in diameter which would have been used to suspend the weight. The weight weighs 71.15 grams which equates to 2.5 ounces averdepois / avoirdupois. Egan (2005) illustrates similar weights on page 164, Fig.161, Nos.846 & 850, which are dated from c.1530-1570 and c.1630-1650.
