Despite the poor preservation of the details I believe this is a cement bag seal for G & T Earle of Hull. In the centre of each face is a pelican feeding her five chicks. There are a number already recorded on the PAS database for example see http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/475031 For another and a history of the company see http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=447
