Georgian gilt and stone set seal with Snake and HOPE intaglio c1820

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 beautiful fob. 

It is a charm size and perfect to put on a charm bracelet or add to a few more pieces to make an interesting pendant

The gilt seal has a multi sided carved base set with a green stone. The stone is engraved with the intaglio of highly detailed Snake and the word “SPERO” – Latin for Hope

The seal has a carved base and a strut handle topped with a suspension loop and split ring

The seal measures 19mm x 10mm x 9mm and is in 95% mint condition – superb condition
