Description: | A complete lead bag seal of modern date. The seal is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by a hole running across its diameter. The holes would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag.Stamped text can be seen on both sides of the seal; one bears three lines of text which appears to read A.ERO[-]//XNHb//H7 (the N is in retrograde). This text is likely to represent the name of the Quality Control Officer and possibly a code for the location at which the Officer worked or the registered number of the sealing tongs he used.The other side bears four lines of text which reads CH[--]//Holl//II I(?)//183[-]. The first line denotes the place of export, and the remaining text most probably refers to the producer of the goods and the year of production.The metal is a mid yellowish-brown colour and is worn. The seal is 17.9mm in diameter, 5.4mm thick and weighs 11.5g.Numerous Russian bag seals are recorded by the PAS and similar can be seen on the PAS database number: YORYM-85FB96 and YORYM-E3AC22.
