POST MEDIEVAL CLOTH SEAL
1500
A lead cloth seal. The seal is comprised by two incomplete circular discs joined together. The joining tab is missing. One side depicts the rear half of what appears to be a hanging sheep akin to the motif found on the Order of the Golden Fleece. A partial letter 'A' survives indicating that an inscription once surrounded the animal. The other side is flat and has the numbers XXII crudely scratched onto it. Further numbers may be located beneath this but it is difficult to tell if it is wear or intentional engraving.
