About this item
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 small gilt seal 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 shield shaped base set with a orange red stone. The stone is engraved with the intaglio of an hour glass and wing and with the words “is on the” – combined “Time is on the wing”
The seal has a carved base and a strut handle topped with a suspension loop
The seal measures 19mm x 9mm x 8mm and is in 85% mint condition – some wear with tiny pin prick holes on the high points
