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 ship appears to be a galleon or man o'war style ship, with its carefully depicted multi level decks. The sails are square, but only one set of sails is visible on each mast, ruling out a later clipper style ship. …
