BSG.CS.00730 — Cloth Seal, Clothier's Seal, Leeds, Fleece

Found in Cumbria, 27mm.

A two disc cloth seal showing a shield with engrailed top bearing a suspended fleece. The other side is blank but has been scratched with a number, possibly 3594.

The suspended sheep or ram represents a wool fleece which is part of the coat of arms of Leeds City.

It is probably the seal of a Leeds cloth worker perhaps from the eighteenth century from the style of the lettering.
