Description: | An incomplete cast lead object, possibly a bale seal or similar item, of Post-Medieval to modern date. It has a leaf-shaped plate that is flat with an incomplete oval sectioned shaft extending from the top(?) edge. One face of the object has what appears to be moulded decoration or letters but its precise form is uncertain. The opposite face appears undecorated although has traces of corrosive iron products that may have obscured any original detail. It measures 11.43mm in width, 17.17mm in length, 3.36mm in thickness, and weighs 2.95g.This is possibly an incomplete terminal from a lead sack or cloth seal, although its precise form is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. If it is indeed such a seal then it is likely to be of Post-Medieval or later date, probably c.1700-1900 AD if not later.
