Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A brass cross artefact of unidentified function, most likely of post-medieval date. The cross is a cross pattée and appears to have had straight, cylindrical protrusions extending from the end of each arm. The protrusions have snapped over the years, the longest remaining one being only 5-6mm in length. The cross has a design hand-carved into it which appears to be some sort of rose in the centre and a series of lines on each arm that converge towards the centre of the arms' terminations.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Post-medieval two-disk cloth seal. One disk is a flat, circular surface. There doesn't appear to be any sort of design however it's unclear if this is due to wear. On the reverse is the remains of another face, presumably a second disk, joined in the centre to the other. The remains of a rampant lion can be seen (its lower body, hind legs and tail). Cloth seals were attached to the cloth as a means of identification and quality control by crown officials who assessed cloth the goods to ensure they were of appropriate quality for trade.
