A four-disc lead cloth seal (the discs are joined by a strip, which is damaged, and the rivet has been pushed through the fourth disc and hammered to hold the seal in place). Two of the other discs have been stamped with extra detail. One disc depicts four lozenges, each with extra detail but the details are not clear. The other disc appears to depict a deers head.

A fragment of a lead cloth seal, dating from the 16th - 17th Century. Only about 50% of the seal survives. The traders' mark is still partially visible on the front surface. It takes the form of a letter G, with a scroll below it and up the middle of the seal. Presumably a second letter would have been visible on the right, but this has broken off. The reverse seal features another letter which is not that clear, possibly an I or L. Similar seals can be seen in Egan, p181.
