Description: | A cast lead bag seal, formed from a flat and circular plate of lead. There are two triangular notches cut into the reverse, which maybe the remains of the hole for a ribbon. The front surface is decorated with two crossed keys. Each has a circular bow, with a small extension and a straight shank, with a simple square bit. In between the bits of the keys there is a large cross. The edge of the disc is decorated with a raised border which is crossed with short raised lines.
The metal is a mid cream-white colour. This seal probably dates to the early post-medieval period and will have a local association with York. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Zuck, Shawna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
