A lead artefact, probably one part of a two part lead cloth seal dating from the post-Medieval period, about AD 1500 - 1800. It is flat and discoid, and there are faint traces of an impressed design on both sides, most of which are very worn and unclear. Those elements that can be seen consist largely of short, straight lines. The seal has a light grey patina. It is 17.2mm, in diameter and 1.6mm thick. It weighs 2.16g.
It is possible that this is a lead token of some type, but the diameter and thickness suggest that the identification as a seal is more likely.
