There is provided a seal for a starter bar head to be used in a continuous caster. The seal extends into a gap provided between the starter bar head and the side walls of a continuous casting mold under direct contact of the side faces of the starter bar head and of the mold side walls. In order to be able to produce this seal in a simple manner and to install it in a particularly quick manner, the seal is extended upwardly in the direction of the mold cavity at least as far as to the front face of the starter bar head and includes a cover part at least partially covering the front face of the starter bar head. The cover part is located to be free and uncovered relative to the mold cavity of the continuous casting mold and possibly introduced cooling scrap directly rests on the cover part of the seal.
