Description: | A complete lead bag seal of late post-medieval date. The seal is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by holes running across its diameter which would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag.Both sides are stamped with a central motif in a bordered roundel. Both sides depict a pelican feeding its chicks with blood from its breast. Much of the text around both these images is obscured but from what remains it can be determined that the text reads "G & T EARLE LIMITED HULL" who were ship-owners and cement manufacturers established in the late 19th century.The metal is a mid blackish-grey colour and is worn. The seal is 21.6mm in diameter, 5.9mm thick and weighs 10.4g.
