Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy bag seal, weight, or possibly a token of probable late medieval / post-medieval date (1400 - 1650). The artefact is incomplete due to an old longitudinal break; approximately 1/3 of the original artefact survives. Both sides of the token / seal / weight are decorated with a series of initials and other motifs. The upper side consists of the letters I and W arranged vertically. The W is formed from two V's which conjoin. These two letters are contained within a rope-like border formed from linked annulets and pellets. The design on the reverse consists of a large (incomplete) letter N. Either side of this initial is a five pointed star or possibly a mullet (spur rowel); it is also possible that these are badly formed flower motifs. The edges of the token are all worn and abraded. It is a mid grey cream colour with a partial patina and measures 16.5mm length, 32.9mm width, is 4.9mm thick and weighs 13.49 grams
