An anthropomorphic wax seal featuring a grinning bulldog or pug head finely carved in hard stone, probably polished heliotrope jasper speckled with natural red inclusions. Inlaid stone eyes.
Brass mount and handle in green stone with reddish inclusions, also in a variety of polished jasper.
The circular die is engraved with an elegant Belle Époque / Art Nouveau-style interlaced monogram, still loaded with old black wax residue.
