Description: | A lead alloy seal which is probably post medieval in date. The seal is formed from two sub-circular discs pressed together. It is 20mm long, 15.8mm wide and 3.7mm thick. Part of a design is visible on the smaller and less complete disc. It appears to be a ladder pattern of a row of rectangular boxes, above which is possibly a depiction of a chain running from side to side. Above that is a row of beading forming a border between the design and the legend. Just the bases of two letters in the legend can be seen; they may be F and A. The reverse is smooth. There was once a projecting loop at one edge, but this is now damaged. Cargo seals can date from the seventeenth century or may be later. There is not enough detail on this one to be certain.
