Title
Post-Medieval to Modern Kosher Seal
Description
English: A complete post Medieval to Modern lead-alloy kosher seal (c. 1850-c. 1950).

The seal is sub-circular in plan and has a slot running through it that accommodated a cord for attachment. One face has a raised Star of David (open interlocked equilateral triangles forming a six pointed star). The other face has raised numerals: 301 or 701.

The seal may be from meat or some other goods where similar restrictions apply, and denotes that the merchandise is kosher. The number probably relates to the manufacturer/butcher.

Length: 16.2mm; width: 13.5mm; thickness: 3.7mm. Weight: 2.86g.

Similar seals have been recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database. See finds: BERK-3E1CC; ESS-FE7782; LIN-290B62; NLM-F33BB3; NLM-BF46D1; SOM-6518A0; SWYOR-C096C7 and WILT-38AFE0.
