Klædeplombe

Klædeplombe fundet i Durham
Klædeplombe, sandsynligvis fra 1600-tallet

En klædeplombe er en blyplombe, som har været brugt til at garantere kvaliteten af klæde. Plomberne har typisk været stemplet af den hjemlige klædebørs.

Klædeplomber findes undertiden af metaldetektorer. Især kendes klædeplomber fra 1300-tallet og senere, fordi den flamske tekstilindustri på dette tidspunkt var førende og eksporterede til store dele af Europa.

A lead cloth seal, probably 17th century in date. The seal bears a double-headed eagle in its centre, with upwardly curving spread wings. A circle separates the eagle from the inscription which reads: HEPERSEE[R] or [K]... (probably the name of a clothier). There are two dotted circles outside the inscription. The reverse is inscribed with GOV/DA, again within a dotted circle. This inscription identifies the seal with the city of Gouda in the Netherlands. Geoff Egan (Finds Adviser) has confirmed that this is the first cloth seal from Gouda to be recorded in Britain. It is evidence for Northumberland’s contribution to the important North Sea cloth trade, exporting wool and importing linens.
