Cloth Seal, Portcullis, English Arms, Image & Found by Tinner.
Found in Wiltshire, 21mm.
The rivet disc from a two disc cloth seal showing the English coat of arms on one side and a portcullis on the rivet stub. Probably from Tudor times.
Not enough detail remains to see if there is a crown above either the arms or the portcullis but if there is then it is likely to be from the Crown-over-Portcullis series of County seals, see Provenanced Leaden Cloth Seals by Geoffrey Egan, Sub-Department of Medieval Archaeology, University College, University of London. submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 1987. p52 - "1738 - One seal with a portcullis stamp has on the other disc a crown over the arms of England, illegible device to left, "HENR... (Lombardic letter) around. This Henry VII or VIII seal (cf. the seals with a king enthroned) is the earliest attributable one from the portcullis series."
