Lead Seal or Coin? Identification

I found this in Austria/Uppet Austria.

It looks like a Lead Seal

I think I read: HERIACA ALSTRV ?IN VENE??

In the middle I am not sure if its a face, or a heraldic sign like a horse or a griffin.

I think I see horse legs, but I am not sure

On the back is nothing

Weight is around 7,5g

Size is around 23mm

I dont think its a roman coin. I think its a Lead Seal  for sealing goods, documents or certificates. Maybe a venzian one. 

 

I am happy for any ideas. 

 

This is the remnant of a theriac closure (16th - 18th century),
Theriac = historical panacea, see Google.
