1 of a number of really fabulous antique wax seal impressions which some date to the Medieval - 17th Century period, most are ecclesiastical - religious related. Some are attached to the envelope letter entire, some are cut off. There are some steel seal dies too. Also of interest are the lignum vitae seal boxes with the die engravers - makers names under the lids of the seal which would accompany a new seal you had made, these were made to show what the seal looked like when used on the documents etc. Of greater interest in my opinion are a number of Medieval period seal impressions which are into a hard brown resin like material. Some have scratched on wording on their backs telling you about the seal and where they were found etc. Some very nice seal impressions here which may be the only known examples as the actual seal matrix may well be lost now. Some fabulous heraldic and armorial coats of arms with legends quite readable. All this collection have my #ES prefix.
This is an antique impression of a seal into hard red wax or a resin type of material.
The seal depicts three lions with a Knights helmet over a shield.
There is Medieval like legend wording around which I have not been able to read.
In collectable condition with normal signs of age and use wear. There are some surface scuffs on the highest parts.
Please see pictures for more details and visual confirmation of condition.
The seal's matrix measures approx. 35mm in diameter.
