English: An incomplete cast lead alloy object forming one half of a lead food seal. The terminal is flat, disc-shaped and has a small oval shaped perforation to one side. Extending from the base of the terminal is an integral lead shaft that is oval shaped in section and tapers toa point at the middle of the terminal. The shaft terminates in old breaks just below the terminal. Both faces of the terminal are decorated with a moulded legend that is the same on both sides. This begins with a star at the top and middle and is written in Hebrew, although precisely what the legend reads remains uncertain. The entire object measures 22.27mm in length including shaft, 16.40mm in diameter, 2.28mm in thickness, and weighs 3.35g. This object is half of a kosher seal used by the Jewish community to label meat that had been prepared according to legal requirements (Geoff Egan, pers. comm.). If the legend can be translated it should date the seal based on the names of the Beth Din that it gives. A similar kosher food seal is noted by Egan in the British Museum with a possible date in the 17th to 18th centuries AD (Egan, 1995: no. 356). Geoff Egan (PAS Finds Advisor, pers.comm.) suggests that the current example is of 19th century AD date.
