Description: | A possible Post-medieval bottle seal, made from a glassy like material. One side of the object has what appears to be a long cross over a large central annulet, not unlike some lead token designs or vaguely like medieval coinage. There are letter arranged around each quarter but they are too worn to make out. The reverse of the object is plain and smooth, although one area has broken and is quite sharp. Seals were often attached to bottles with the name or arms of the person who bought the wine on them, often used to show that person's wealth and success. This seal is very crude although it was probably for a similar purpose.
