Description: | A probably incomplete lead-alloy bag seal of modern date (c. 19th century). The artefact is sub-rectangular. It is stamped on both faces with motifs in low relief, both set at a slight diagonal angle from the sides of the object. One face depicts a cow (bull) standing left with a calf (or sheep) before it, all within a double border. The other side contains an elaborate monogram, seemingly reading 'LME Co' (or 'MLE Co'), also within a double border. Such a company has not been traced, but it can be suggested that it supplied animal feed. Two identical objects have been recorded on this database to date, both in the shape of an irregular rectangle: YORYM-1A6C08, YORYM-1BC305. They both could have been cut, as with this example which seems to have been cut along its longer edges.
