Lead disc, probably one of the inner discs of a four-part cloth seal. The disc is flat and circular, with two sprues, one either side. One surface is decorated with a crowned bust facing forwards, similar to the busts featured on medieval coins. It is therefore possible that this seal is late medieval in date.

A lead cloth seal of probable medieval to post-medieval date. The seal comprises two discs of lead joined together by a folded strip of lead. One disc is larger than the other and both surfaces are flat. The seal is undecorated on both sides.

Due to the lack of any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely. The metal is a dark greyish-white colour and is worn. The seal is 26.3mm long, 21.3mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 6.4g.
