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 Georgian gilt seal set with a black stone which has a coded message. These fun seals were used by the Georgians when writing letters as a little nod or wink to the comings and goings of the recipient and tended to be tongue in cheek and a bit gossipy & confuse anyone who wasn’t in on the joke.
This seal has a black stone engraved with the words “Hoo’sa Wi Ye” meaning "who is that with you?"
The seal is decorated with carved detailing and has a suspension loop
The seal measures 18mm x 13mm and is in 95% mint condition
