This is seal was designed to be used with hot wax for sealing letters.
I have made an impression of this seal using hot wax to show that the seal works as intended and also to give a clearer image of the intaglio.
The wax impression comes in a small plastic case and is included with the seal.
This is a gold filled seal – not solid gold
The seal has a large base set with a red hard stone and carved with an intaglio of a gentleman – presumably the owner but it also looks a lot like Caesar or Augustus . The intaglio gives a superb impression in wax.
The shank has a simple strut handle with suspension loop and milled detailing.
The seal measures 22mm x 22mm x 19mm and is in 95% mint condition
