Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead seal of later Medieval to Post-Medieval date, c. 1400-1800. The seal is discoidal in shape bearing the impression of a lion's head. A hole, pointed oval in shape, can be found in the centre of the seal where the impression is deepest.
