1 of a number of really fabulous antique wax seal impressions which some date to the Medieval - 19th Century period, most are ecclesiastical - religious related. Some are attached to the envelope letter entire, some are cut off. 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. Very interesting lot and well collected today as they were in the Georgian - Victorian period by the aristocracy whilst on their Grand Tours.

All this collection have my #MS prefix.

This is an antique resin impression of a medal, seal, or cameo.

It depicts a Roman looking lady in a toga knelt down looking sad with a sword in her lap.

The piece of paper it is stuck on reads that this is Lady Vera Watkin.

In collectable condition with normal signs of age and use wear. Unfortunately the bottom part under the high relief is cracked all the way through. The impression does have some surface scuffs and may have some small chips.

Please see pictures for more details and visual confirmation of condition.

The impression itself measures approx. 61mm x 51mm.

This one is still attached to paper backing.

My stock ref: in #MS drawer.
