Record ID: SF9446
Object type: CLOTH SEAL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A lead stamped cloth seal. In England seals of this type were in use from the late 14th to the early 19th centuries and were used to mark cloths for commercial sale (Egan 1994, p1). Of this cloth seal two discs survive, neither have a rivet, these two discs are therefore almost certainly the two inner discs, discs 2 and 3, from a four-part seal. These discs measure 15mm in diameter. On one of them the word IPSWICH can be read near its edge, there are the remains of other letters on this disc none of which can be clearly seen. No stamp can be seen at all on the other disc.

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Complete low flanged axe made of copper alloy. Flanges are relatively slight, 2 mm high at most, and possibly formed by hammering. Only a small part of the original surface survives, which is decorated with a punched chevron design. Slightly trapezoidal body with flaring flade. Not trace of a clear stop-bevel. Symmetrical lenticular long-section. One end of the blade is worn (or possibly corroded) away.
