Description: | A post-medieval lead Russian bag seal dated 1799. The seal is circular, but has been damaged at the edges in antiquity. The damage reveals holes between the upper and lower disc. Both discs have been struck with stamps in the Cyrillic alphabet. One stamped face reads: 'PD(sexfoil)//[??]??DOL//[??]ONOA//H109(sexfoil)'. On the other face the text reads: '??SPB??//AKA(R)//??1799??'. The 'SPB' relates to an origin in St Petersburg. The 'AK' and 'A(R)' below might relate to the manufacturers of the goods to which this seal was once attached. These types of seal were used as a means to monitor and ensure the quality of products such as flax hemp. A number of later 18th century and 19th century Russian seals can be found on this database. This example measures 22.68mm x 21.9mm x 4.13mm, weighing 13.03g. See ??Leaden Tokens Telegraph issue 20/21?? which is accessible at www.mernick.org.uk/leadtokens/newsletters. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
