Description: | Cast lead cloth seal with a central hole. Shows evidence of being bent in the middle. Late Medieval/Early Post-Medieval in date. Only one half of the seal remains but a segment of the lead strap which would have connected the other half - the riveted lead disc - is visible. The hole in this remaining half would have accomodated the connecting rivet. None of the cloth survives. The decoration on the seal is weak and worn. Markings do show a figure '9', the letter 'S' and depictions of root vegetables- possibly beetroot, turnip or radishes- indicating that the bag contained vegetables.
