Description: | Two lead kosher seals, small and each with part of a projecting rod surviving. They are both oval, 10 mm and 11.5 mm across, with the rod projecting from one of the shorter ends. The narrower one is 25 mm long (about half of this is the rod) and is stamped with four Hebrew letters in two lines on one face. The last two letters on the top line are possibly alef and tet. There is a single letter (perhaps alef) on the other. The wider one is 23 mm long (the rod part is 9 mm long) and has perhaps two letters on one face and a single letter on the other. This one also has traces of possible lettering on the rod. These seals would have been attached to kosher food and although relatively recent are interesting archaeological evidence for the presence of Jews in the 19th or early 20th century. | 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
