Description: | A Post Medieval or Modern uniface bag or bale seal, dating from AD 1700 - 1900. It is circular and has a slot through the seal from edge to edge. One face is blank; the other is stamped with two crossed keys with circular bows. There is a number 1 between the bows and another symbol between the bits, perhaps an angel facing forwards with wings spread or a cross with the side arms curving upwards. The lead has a tan patina. It is 18.8mm diameter, 4.8mm thick and 9.84gm.A number of similar seals can be found on the database and also in the bag seal gallery at website http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.php. This website considers them to be Russian flax seals and cites Sullivan, 2012, 'Russian Cloth Seals in Britain Trade, Textiles and Origins'. More detail on this citation can be found on the database at record SWYOR-B9EDC4.
