Antique board of seals and signets featuring fifteen wax impressions, mostly black, highlighted by two shades of violet. The large violet seal in the top row displays a crowned shield surrounded by animals, while the wide central impression reveals two oval coats of arms joined beneath a crown. Surrounding these pieces are simple shields and compositions with more elaborate ornaments. The differences in formats and the contrasts between matte and glossy wax give character to this collection, mounted on paper with handwritten annotations. A collection to frame to appreciate the details of its heraldic decorations.
