Large circular Post Medieval, 16th -17th century, lead alloy cloth seal, AD.1590-1700. The seal has a central design of two crowns, one above the other with a foliate design that fills the surrounding void. The top crown has a cross that protrudes into the surrounding legend. Legend reads, DVBLE CRON RASH. The term 'Rash' refers to a type of smooth cloth. The edges of the seal are smooth and there appears to be no way of attaching the seal to a cloth perhaps suggesting that the seal was used in some way as a token or souvenir. Stuart Elton has identified the seal and equates it with a…

Large Post Medieval circular lead cloth seal, AD.1600-1900. The seal comprises a flat disc of lead with a central circular field for a design and a legend. The seal is quite worn and the central field has lost any strong distinguishing features of the design. The legend while worn, remains legible, BOCKING 100 BAYES [..34]. The final section is possibly a date though it is unclear, it may give the date of 1634.

Large, lead, post medieval 16th-19th century, circular cloth seal dated AD.1571. The seal has an off centre pelleted ring that contains the legend, DVYT/ COLCESTER/ BAYE/ 1571. The lower half of the date has been lost due to the off centre stamping. The reverse of the seal has two squashed lead rivets attached but is otherwise undecorated. The object has a white/grey patina of lead oxide. Seals made by the Dutch textile industry in Colchester all carried the date AD.1571, as this was when the industry was founded in the city, rather than recording the year of sealing (Egan 1992).

An incomplete Medieval-Post Medieval Cloth seal, dating from the late 14th-18th century. All that remains of this cloth seal are fragments of the two discs and the rivet. The object has been folded and worn so that it is impossible to discern any further features. It has a mid-light grey pattination.
Without any further information this object is impossible to date more precisely. Egan notes that the earliest cloth seal comes from the late 14th century and the alnage system ended in AD 1728, though the seals continued to be used after this date (1992, 1).

A Post Medieval lead alloy four-part cloth seal, dating from the late 16th-18th century. This is probably a four part cloth seal, though it is so worn and distorted it is difficult to know for certain. The object appears to consist of two sets of discs, four discs in total, which are joined by a connecting strip. No decoration is visible due to wear and distortion. The seal has a mid grey and light brown pattination across the surface.
Four part cloth seals don't come into use until the late 16th century (Egan, 1992, 2) and the practice of alnage ceases in AD 1728 (Ibid., 1). Due…

A Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal, probably dating to the late 16th century. The seal is formed of two discs with a connecting strip and integral rivet on one of the discs connecting the two. Only one disc is decorated and appears to have a crowned portcullis in the centre. The object is very worn and damaged, making it difficult to discern any other features. It has a mid-dark grey pattination across the surface.
The style of decoration is most commonly found in the Elizabethan era (Egan, 1992, 2), making this example likely to be of a similar date.
