A cast lead-alloy probable cloth seal or similar object, possibly dating to the mid-late 18th century AD. The cloth seal has been stamped on both discoidal faces with unclear decoration; one side seems to depict two lions 'en rampant' with the letter 'G' above and the other face may depict a wig surrounded by a decorative border. A portion of the flat tab connecting both discs is intact. A similar seal has not been found, however the decoration and lettering is suggestive of the Georgian period.

A very worn cast lead cloth seal of probable post-Medieval date. The object comprises two flat circular discs joined at the top by a rectangular connecting strip and held together by an integral rivet that extends from disc one through the front face of disc two, where it is flattened. It is only possible to see what looks like an 'I' or 'T' on one face.
This is a worn lead cloth seal of uncertain type. The worn legend is unfortunately too poorly preserved to enable a close identification of the full original text, a problem also encountered with the central motif. It is entirely …
