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 now worn central motif in a bordered roundel. Both sides depict a pelican feeding its chicks with blood from its breast. The circumferential text around both these images is obscured but would have read "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, 4.5mm thick and weighs 10.3g.
