The seal is roughly circular in shape with worn edges and consists of a lead disc with two perforations diagonally across the diameter whcih would have housed a cord or wire for the seal to be attached to a bale of flax.

The inscription is surrounded by a pellet border. The reverse reads: АРХАНГ ПОР / КРОНЪ / 1.СОРТЪ / ЯПВ / 1828 which translates as: Archangel Port Crown best quality 1st Sort in 1828. The Grower/Owner/Agent initials are Ya.P.V. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries Russia was a prominent exporter of flax Lead bale seals were used as a means of identification and as a component of regulation and quality control. Russian seals of this type were used as a means to monitor and ensure the quality of flax hemp products from Russia.
