Description: | An inscribed lead tag, probably a label for a plant or plant product. The object is a flat trapezoidal sheet of lead broken at the narrow end, where it may have been attached to something. The object has been both stamped and scratched with lettering, probably suggestive of re-use. The stamped lettering has been so deeply impressed that some areas of the tag have been lost. In addition there is a central portion of the tag missing. On one side the stamped lettering reads BLA[.]K / PA[.]E. Between these rows and slightly overlapping them is the incised word BVRG[.]MOT, probably bergamot, the citrus fruit or herb. On the other side the lettering is less clear. The upper row is not clearly legible and the lower row appears to read C[.]M[.]K[.]PA. | 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: | 1600
