Griffin brass wax seal

A brass desk seal engraved with a griffin, the heraldic creature, half eagle and half lion, that guarded treasure and signaled vigilance. In the era of sealing wax a person's seal was their signature, and each matrix was engraved for its original owner, so no two are alike.

Marked with a "C.W". A small piece of someone's story. Beautiful in a dish with other seals, and the engraved face still makes impressions you can use today.

3.75" tall, heavy for its size
