Cloth Seal, Loughborough, Leicester County, Alnage Seal

Cloth Seal, Loughborough, Leicester County Alnage Seal, Image & Found by John Edeson.
Found in Leicestershire, ?mm.

Blank // rose with crown above, :LOVGHBORO.COM.LEST.* (S retrograde)

*Legend completed from BSG.CS.01153.

A two-disc alnage seal for Leicester. The rivet stub is protruding above the rove disc and bears all the legible stamp. No other alnage seal for this county apart from its parallel, BSG.CS.01153, is known. Warwickshire was counted together with Leicestershire in the mid-14th century alnage records but this seal is more likely to be from Tudor times. The legend appears to be a mix of Latin, COM - comitat for county, and English abbreviations.
