A cloth seal or pot mend of uncertain date.
The object is formed of two discs both flat and circular in plan but one of which is much larger. These are held together by a central circular rivet. The object is an off white colour.
The object is 20.7mm long, 18mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 4.71 grams.
This item was found in the same area as two futher pot mends OXON-A376D2 and OXON-A36F3B which may suggest this had the same form. However each discs walls are far thinner and the overall form is far closer to a Post medieval cloth seal such as OXON-B7B2C3.
