Lead seal. Kosher meat seal. Cast disc with a slot in one edge and a bifurcated slot in the opposite edge, to serve as a drawstring attachment. One side bears the stamped motif of a Star of David [or Solomon]. The other bears the numeral 350 in modern style. The metal retains its grey tint, suggesting a recent [20th-century] date. These seals confirmed that meat had been slaughtered according to rabbinical regulation. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1950.
