Description: | A complete cast lead bale seal of post-medieval date. The seal is circular in plan with relief designs on both faces. The obverse is difficult to determine however it is likely to read with the initials TM below another set of indistinguishable letters/numbers. The reverse depicts a shield with a centrally positioned cross. In the top right quarter of the shield is a series of five pellets in an X formation. The remaining three quarters are also decorated with pellets; however their formation cannot be determined due to wear.The metal is a mid whitish-grey colour and is worn. The seal is 18.9mm in diameter, 4.4mm thick and weighs 8.2g.
