Fragment of the inner disk from a cast lead four-part alnage seal. It is flat on the back, the front is stamped with SER[...]//HE[...]//1628 in three lines with double roses to the left and below. It is 18.9mm by 16.4mm by 1.3mm thick and weighs 1.97 grams. It would originally have read: "serc//hed // 1628"; (ie the textile was examined in that year). It is probably from Kent by parallel with another, more complete, example from London, though the same alnagers initials (ligatured TH/HT) which appear on the other inner disc of the London example, along with the county nam…

Part of a two part cloth seal with two disks joined by a tab which is bent in half. One side is stamped with a 'privy' or 'merchants' mark in the form of a vertical bar crossed by a saltire at the top with an S below and the lower end of the bar forked with another symbol attached to each fork, all within an octagonal border. It is 15.9 by 15.4mm and 3.6mm thick; it weighs 3.88 grams. Probably part of a cloth seal used by a weaver, dyer or searcher. The use of a privy mark suggests a 16th to 18th century date.

Post Medieval French lead Cinque Grosses Fermes customs or goods tax seal (the name refers to 5 tax districts), probably not for a cloth as it is not of the most appropriate (riveted) format for a textile, but for some other kind of goods. It has been torn off and about a third is missing. There are the remains of two slots running through it where cords or laces would have been attached. On both sides are stamped designs encircled by a legend: the arms of France on one side with full crown and collar around, and those of Rouen (Lamb of God with in chief three fleurs de lis)…

Late Medieval or Post Medieval incomplete two- or four-disc lead cloth seal. Only a fragment of the centre of two discs survive.

The seal was then stamped across this cone flattening it and riveting the two discs together. This fragement is part of the cone and the upper and lower disc.

Flower shaped mount in a lead-tin-copper alloy. The mount has a large domed centre surrounded by a ring of eight circular domed 'petals'. The back is hollowed and shaped to the font as though it has been stamped out of copper alloy sheet. In the centre of the back is a lump of iron corrosion which may be the remains of a rivet. It is 11.8mm in diameter, 4.5mm thick and weighs 0.54 grams. Although Medieval flower mounts have been found nearby (e.g. SUSS-ADFCF0) this example is made of a different material, is much more regular and has an iron rather than copper rivet. All of these fe…

Part of a Post Medieval alnage cloth seal. The fragment consists on one side or a two or four part seal. On the front is a stamped design of a crowned rose with a C to the left within a pellet border. Several examples on the database have crowned roses with royal initials to the side (usually C/R etc) which are similar to this example e.g. SF-02F767 and SUR-FF8E42 where the design is on a four part Hampshire seal; they are thought to relate to Charles I, 1625-1649 AD. It is 15.6mm in diameter, 1.4mm thick and weighs 1.66 grams.

A late Medieval copper alloy thimble, probably dating from the 15th century. The thimble has slightly sloping sides and a domed top. The sides have been squashed inwards and there is a tear to one side. The surface is decorated with individually punched circular holes in a continuous spiral, starting from a bare 'tonsure' at the centre of the top and ending in a plain band at the base. Some of the pits pierce the metal. There is possible evidence of folding on the base which may indicate it was made by stamping, but this may be a result of the later squashing. The thimble is 19.6mm tal…
