Cloth Seal, Bear
Cloth Seal, Bear, Image by StuE, Found by Doug Turner.
Found in Somerset, 27mm, 12.2g.
Blank // blank // bear passant // mostly missing
The bear could be a pictorial cloth worker's mark but the four disc design of the seal is not normally employed for that type. Another possibility is a continental seal. Freising in Germany is known to have a bear in this posture on its cloth seals.
