Incomplete post-medieval lead worsted reformed cloth seal, consisting of part of a single disc with a connecting tab that terminates in a worn break, and a smaller fragment of a second disc adhering to the reverse of the first. Approximately sixty to seventy per cent of the first disc survives and just under half of its edge appears to be original, the rest is a worn break or breaks. The front is stamped with the letters WO[R] / STE[D] / RE[F] within a raised circular border. The latter letters and a large part of the border fall beyond the original edge (and are thus missing). …

Worn or eroded fragment of lead alloy alnage cloth seal. It is sub-circular and is in all likelihood the rivet end of the seal that has been squashed flat by the matrix. Visible on the outside face of the seal is a chained portcullis design that was popular from the late Elizabethan period. The portcullis was an emblem of the Tudor dynasty and was stipulated by Elizabeth I to be stamped on cloth seals (S, Elton. Cloth seals, an illustrated reference guide to the identification of lead seals attached to cloth. page 218). Circa AD1570-1700.
