A fragment of a Post Medieval lead alloy cloth seal with the fragmentary surrounding legend * D [- - -] E T *, and with a ligated PW in the centre. Paul Cannon comments: I think this is a fragment of a 17th century cloth seal. The monogram PW (or WP) is surrounded by * D [- - -] E T *. It seems likely that the county name of 'Dorset' is intended. PW (or WP) are the initials of the alnager. The same monogram is recorded on cloth seals of Exeter (Devon); Somerset and Wiltshire. If my interpretation is correct this may be the first recording of these initials for the alnage of Dors…

An incomplete post-medieval lead-alloy cloth seal of early 18th-century date. A disc survives, slightly damaged, from what was probably a four-disc seal from the series featuring a monarch's head. As Egan (1994, 60) states, the relief designs on these alnage seals are characterised by fine detail resulting from well-engraved dies. The disc bears a female bust facing left, that of Queen Anne (AD 1702-1714). The bust is surrounded by a border of short raised transverse lines and the legend MAG BRIR ET HIB. There is evidence for a loop at one point at right angles to the bust. The clot…
