|
| |
An emblematic figure or design pressed into a piece of wax as a means of authenticating either the document so marked or the signature on it.
An engraved tool or ‘stamp’ employed for making such markings on wax. States customarily have a seal of this kind for use on papers of the highest importance, such as treaties. In Britain this seal is called the Great Seal of the Realm.
A piece of wax or similar substance which overlaps a fold in a letter or document, thereby making it impossible (or at least very difficult) to open it and then ‘re-seal’ it without detection. |
