A complete four-disc alnage seal bearing the alnager's TP or PT ligature. This alnager is known through his ligature to have worked in Kent, Essex and Norwich, and possibly Devon or Hampshire. This is the first known seal of his to display England - perhaps a practical development as the number of counties he was responsible for grew. He has been found on seals bearing CR initials and Egan believes this is more likely to refer to Charles II than I.
