Description: | A complete Post Medieval cast lead alloy seal dating from the17th century. This is a circular disc with a projecting loop for attachment. There is a cast motif on each side. On one side there is an eagle with outspread wings (a spread eagle) and on the other side is a garnished shield with crossed tools (probably mortar pestles) on the left half and a three legged vessel with a crown above on the right half. Both designs would be upside down if the seal was suspended from the loop. An almost identical seal is recorded on the database as LON-9485E4. Geoff Egan suggested that LON-9485E4 may have been used as an identifying official mark on brass vessels or lengths of wire.
