The Cloth and Bag Seal Gallery
A reference resource for the identification of lead cloth and bag seals.
Compiled and researched by Stuart F. Elton.
About this Gallery
This gallery is intended as a reference resource for those wanting to identify cloth or bag seals they have found. All pictures and information are welcomed. Please note that sending images for inclusion means you agree to their publication in books or articles, with full credit given to the finder and photographer.
Found a seal? Send it to stuarteltonstuartelton@gmail.com — photographs of both sides please, even if one is blank, and please don't crop them: images up to 10 MB are fine, and low resolution can make identification impossible. Diameter in mm, weight in g and the county it was found in all help, if known.
Cloth Seals: An Illustrated Reference Guide to the Identification of Lead Seals Attached to Cloth by S.F. Elton is available from Archaeopress.
