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 gilt metal seal which has a rectangular base set with a white opaque stone.
This is engraved with an intaglio of a dove with an olive branch and the word “Paix” or peace in reverse.
The seal has a carved domed base and handle topped with a suspension loop.
The seal measures 19mm x 11mm x 10mm and is in 90% mint condition – some light wear to the carving.
