Four disc lead seal, traces of gilding. One of the main discs has a wheel-like device with a crown and a series of initials between the spokes - H A e Ca [R]. The other main disc has suffered more corrosion but shows a shield and probably a version of the company's heraldry - the arms of England and Scotland joined together and with a fish to the right at the top, all over a large globe.

The seal has a disc with a rivet connected by a strip to a second disc with a hole in the centre. The 'rivet disc' is plain and the edges are slightly crumpled. On the flattened rivet, seen through the second disc, an incomplete design has been stamped. The design is the body, neck and head of a goat/ram. The animal has two curved horns on top of its head. The letter 'B' is above the neck, another letter is too incomplete to be legible.

Lead cloth seal of the Norwich Weavers' Company. Disc 1 is stamped with WOR/STED/REFOR/MED (M and E ligatured). The significance of 'reformed' is unknown.

Lead cloth seal. Disc 1 is stamped with a rampant lion, probably the 'Belgic' lion of the Netherlands (although the sabre and bundle of arrows that it ought to be holding are off the flan). Disc 2 has a shield with a row of oerhaps six lozenges across the middle (or 'conjoined in fess' in heraldic language). Above the shield are the initials IP. The precise origin of this seal is uncertain; an image has been sent to Geoff Egan at the Museum of London to try to get a better identification. It is evidence for the trade in textiles between East Anglia and the Netherlands in the 16th…

Lead cloth seal, only Disc 1 surviving, stamped with an ornate shield with a broad vertical stripe (a 'pale' in heraldic language), all within a circle. Outside the circle are the remains of a legend - possibly an I and then next to it at the top a cross. Much of the legend is off the flan, as the stamping has been done rather off-centre. This is a foreign seal, but its precise origin is uncertain; an image has been sent to Geoff Egan at the Museum of London to try to get a better identification.

Large lead cloth seal, a privy seal of a clothier, weaver or searcher. Disc 1 is stamped with irregularly set incuse letters or numbers - two 5s or Ss and an I.
