Description: | An incomplete and extremely worn cast lead seal of post-medieval to modern date. The seal is roughly circular in plan with an irregular sub-rectangular cross section and is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by two holes running across its diameter. The hole would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag. Some iron corrosion is present within the holes.The front is decorated with a stamped design which has been rendered illegible by the degree of wear. All that can be determined is the letter "O". No form of decoration can be determined on the reverse of the seal.The metal is a mid greyish-white colour and is extremely worn. The seal is 17.1mm in diameter, 7.1mm thick and weighs 8.5g.
