Description
English: An incomplete lead alloy Cloth or Bag Seal of Post-Medieval date (AD 1550-1750). The object is circular in plan consisting of two discs interconnected by a bar. One of the disk is completes, the other is only partially retained.  In the centre of the retained disk is the merchants mark which consists of the symbols: ŦII, the retained portion of the opposing side retains a central cross.

Diameter: 20.65mm, Thickness: 4.39mm, Weight: 6.8g

The metal is brown in colour with a predominantly smooth patina.

Egan states: "Lead seals were put on commercially produced cloths as part of a complicated system of industrial regulation, known in England as the alnage, under which quality control and the levying of a tax of a few pence per newly manufactured cloth was administered until 1724", (Egan, G in Saunders, 2001, p43).
