A complete and worn cast lead cloth seal with a joining strip. Disc 1: King facing, on ship and wielding a sword; rose on side of hull. Disc 2: plain with rivet head. 24.9 x 17.6 x 3.2mm.

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
Complete cast lead cloth seal of fourteenth to early sixteenth century date (AD 1300 – AD 1525). Length 20mm, diameter of discs about 14mm. Weight 6.95g. The seal is a two part seal with sprue attached. The impressions on both discs are vague and not easily identifiable. Disc 1 has an unidentifiable image above roman-style lettering and disc 2 has a small cross pommee below which is a blackletter initial, probably standing for the place of origin. Both sides appear considerably incompletely struck and perhaps multiply struck. This may be the earliest cloth seal to have been recorded…
