BSG.CS.01088 — Cloth Seal, Dye Seal, London Dyers Company, Swan

Found in Lincolnshire, 23mm.

Swan // missing but rivet stub stamped with part of a madderbag, W above

The madderbag is a symbol used by the London Dyers' Company (W normally for woaded) and the swan is most probably a reference to Old Swan Lane on the central London waterfront area where the guild set up its work places.
