A post-medieval lead alnage bag seal likely dating to the reign of James I (1603-1625). The seal survives oval in plan with the sides and attachment tab folded over the front of the object. The front is emblazoned with a trifolate crown motif, with high central fleur. There is a fleur de lis below The reverse is plain and flat. A similar alnage seal of James as indicated by the initials "I-R" and thought to be of a pre-restoration type therefore James I rather than James II, is illustrated by Egan (1994, No.125, Fig.26)
