A complete lead bag seal of modern date. The seal is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by a hole running across its diameter.

A post-medieval or modern lead seal. The seal is circular and has a rectangular hole running from side to side through which a cord would have been threaded. Lettering is visible around the perimeter on both sides. Paul Cannon has kindly identified this is a Danish State seed control seal.
