An incomplete Medieval lead alloy alnage seal, c.AD 1636-1700. This seal has only a fragment of one face, on which is depicted in relief a three masted sailing ship under full sail. The only parts of the ship that is preserved are the side of the ship with four gun openings, the central mast and sail with rigging, and a wooden balcony around the stern. The ship appears to be a galleon or man o'war style ship, with its carefully depicted multi level decks.
