Title
Bag Seal : Post Medieval to Modern
Description
English: A complete Russian lead bag seal of Post-medieval to modern date (AD 1700-1850). The seal is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by a hole running across its diameter. The holes would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag.

Stamped text can be seen on both sides of the seal; one bears three lines of text which appear to read NI/AP12R/1802•. This text is likely to represent the name of the Quality Control Officer and possibly a code for the location at which the Officer worked or the registered number of the sealing tongs he used.
The other side contains four lines of text which reads[]Z[]/9HИW/8Ѵ̡̡LЦ/ѴV . The first line denotes the place of export, and the remaining text most probably refers to the producer of the goods and the year of production.

The metal is a light cream in colour.
