Description: | Lead kosher seal, circular with a broken-away stem. The base of the stem can be seen as a raised tapering 'tail' on either face. 17 mm in diameter, it has relief Hebrew lettering on both faces, but both are worn and difficult to read. Kosher seals were used on kosher foodstuffs, at least from the 17th century onwards; this form of seal is probably 19th or early 20th century. The inscription will give the name of the Chief Rabbi in office at the time. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1800
