Description: | Lead cloth seal, post mediaeval and probably modern, of circular form with the word 'ORIGINAL' circumscribed on one side, and on the other in much smaller letters an extended legend: over top: '.........Z..ERRE': Beneath: LE.....NGE.......' and across the centre three wreathed stars with a motif below the central one, and the words '...TANZ/LEDG...''ORI/GINAL'. By its appearance, therefore, this is a French seal of late 19th or 20th century date. The diameter is 21.5, thickness 0.5. On one edge there are two smaller rectangular slots for a string to pass through the centre of the seal, and on the opposite edge there is but one, larger slot. It is uncertain what sort of merchandise it was used to seal. | 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: | 1850
