Description: | A lead alloy bag seal. It is a thick disc with a rectangular hole sideways through the disc. It is probably 18th century in date. The upper surface carries a device of crossed keys within a raised circle. The keys have circular bows and bits in the shape of a square divided into quarters. There is a small, solid roundel on the stem of each key. In the angle formed by the key bits is a cross pommee and in the angle formed by the bows is a vertical line with a slight hook to the right at the top. The reverse of the seal is damaged and no design is visible. The crossed keys are often used as a symbol for York which may indicate the origin of the goods that this was used to seal. It is 19.5mm in diameter and 5.2mm thick. It weighs 11.28gm.
