Object type: CLOTH SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead cloth seal, possibly for a cloth known as bombazine, and dating to the period 1500-1700. It is incomplete as it is unclear whether it is part of a two or four part seal, though four part seals are more unusual. The cloth seal measures 20.12mm in diameter and weighs 2.74g. One side has the letter "B" next to a crowned possible pair of scissors, all is raised relief; the other side is apparently undecorated. The patina is an off white, with a thin line of dark brown in between the lead.
