At the base is a square bloodstone matrix with canted corners, engraved with the initials \u003cem\u003eLC\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eCL.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith some inevitable wear to the gilt, this is nevertheless a lovely piece to have on a desk and worthy of serious consideration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeal Specification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 70mm (2.75\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiameter of matrix 18mmx18mm (0.70\"x0.70\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight 33g (1.10oz)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sigillum Seals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45171955892509,"sku":"-","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/3626\/9597\/products\/PXL_20230603_134400381_1.jpg?v=1687183954","url":"https:\/\/sigillumseals.co.uk\/products\/a-silver-gilt-figurine-of-comical-bowing-gent-desk-seal","provider":"Sigillum Seals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
