Description: | Post-medieval lead kosher seal. The seal is circular in shape, with a hole through the centre of the disc; a small area at the bottom left has been cut or broken off. There is an inscription in Hebrew on side, כּשׁר translating as 'Kosher', the other side has a possible hebrew initial ו. Both sides have circumferential ridged decoration surrounding the central inscriptions, likely added as part of the sealing. The seal is white/cream all over typical of heavily oxidised lead alloy objects.The seal would have been afixed to a kosher foodstuff. Geof Egan (1994, 123-4) discusses a number of these seals and dates them 17th/18th centuries.Measurments: 27.57mm in diameter, 2.93mm thick and 4.97g in weight.
