Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy object, possibly a seal. The object is a disc, being circular in plan and flat in section. One portion of the circumfral edge is missing, its straight break suggesting that a shank, now missing, may have protruded from it, possibly joining it to an opposing disc. One face is decorated with a raised hexagram (star of David) within a raised circular border. The reverse of the design is clearly visible on the rear face. It would be unusual to find a copper alloy seal, but this possibility should not be discounted, especially if the seal denoted kosher goods. The object is 23.07mm in diameter, 3.02mm thick and weighs 6.92g. It is probably Post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
