Title
Post medieval kosher meat seal
Description
English:

Late Post Medieval to Modern lead alloy kosher seal (c.AD1500-1900) The seal is circular and has a slot running through it from top to bottom. One face has a Star of David (open interlocked equilateral triangles forming a six pointed star moulded in relief), the other the number 471. It is 16.50 mm in diameter and 2.82mm thick. It weighs; 2.54g.

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. Similar examples on this database include ESS-FE7782, LIN-290B62 and SWYOR-C096C7. This is a relatively late style, probably 18th to 19th century in date.
