Description: | Lead bag seal. Cast disc comprising two thinner discs clamped together to form a thicker disc with a bifurcated slot in one edge and a single slot in the opposite edge, to function as a drawstring closure. Patinated overall. One side bears the heraldic emblem of a crowned double headed eagle, which may suggest an origin for the object in Tsarist Russia. The other side bears indistinct traces of a circumferential legend. The object probably arrived attached to agricultural goods or products imported from the Baltic region. The use of the imperial Hapsburg emblem is less usual than more specific Cyrillic legends recording the checking of goods at particular ports. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1860-1900.Diameter: 19.4mm, Thickness: 5.1mm, Weight: 10.43gms
