Incomplete lead cloth seal. Only Disc I survives; on the front is a horizontal line with B above and R beneath, and on the reverse are apparently two rivets (rather than the normal one).

Small lead ring, 13 mm in diameter, with bar 5 mm long projecting from one side. Both the ring and the projecting bar are D-shaped in cross-section. On the flat face, the ring has an incomplete circular stamp with small letters within a circular border. The other face is convex and apparently unstamped. Probably part of an unused lead cloth seal (Disc 2), although the ring is rather narrow (generally c. 3 mm wide), and it is odd that the process of stamping did not also flatten the ring.

Almost-complete lead cloth seal, 22 mm in diameter. Disc 2 is fragmentary, but a well-made stamp can be seen with a merchant's mark flanked with a possible T to the left and an A to the right. The mark consists of a figure 4 with long stem that runs between the T and the A to end in a lozenge. The lines of the 4 may be continued beyond the left-hand angle to form an oval above the T, and the horizontal line to the right may be extended to form a cross above the A. Disc 1 is more complete, but the only stamp that this has is the incuse initials OP. A clothier's, weaver's or searche…

Large, nearly complete lead cloth seal measuring (without connecting strip) 24 x 26 mm. Disc 2 is broken but mostly complete; it is stamped with a design of two rampant ?lions with their tongues and feet touching, perhaps combatant, with initials (TH?) beneath. All is contained within a beaded border. Disc 1 is apparently unstamped. Although the design looks heraldic, denoting perhaps an official seal, the initials may point instead to a privy seal of a clothier, weaver or searcher. Probably 16th or 17th century.

Complete cloth seal, 18 mm in diameter. Disc 2 is stamped with the facing figure of an angel wearing a dress with elbow-length sleeves and a two-tier pleated skirt, holding an object in either hand.
