Purchased. Registered File number 1986/371. From its size, the burse is likely to have contained the Great Seal, in which case it must have belonged to one of Elizabeth I's five Lord Chancellors. The most likely is Sir Christopher Hatton (Chancellor 1587-1591). A miniature (c.1588-91) in the V&A by Hilliard (P.138-1910) shows him holding a large burse, which may have the right sort of decoration.
