Memento Mori Seal Attached to cord bookmark with information card

Description

This Seal is taken from a signet based on a 1600's design memento mori signet currently housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (see picture, you are purchasing a seal made from a reproduction of the signet with what looks to be different initials, attached to a cord, not the signet ring). This item is made of real sealing w a x, further sealed with matte finish polyurethane and attached to a black cord, suitable for gentle use as a bookmark. These items are individually made to order and thus are each one of a kind. Please allow for differences such as shape of seal and tone of wax. Item comes in a  gift wrapped package with information card that says:
Memento Mori, Latin for, “remember thy death,” was a popular theme in renaissance and early colonial jewelry and funerary art. It served as a reminder to live well and look to eternity as death is ever imminent. This type of imagery was commonly used in signet rings used to seal letters and important documents by persons of import in early colonial America, in an anagram sent to Governor Dudley in 1645 we see, “A death’s head on your hand you need not weare, A dying head on your shoulders beare.” This seal is taken from a copy of a memento mori signet ring from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. This item is made of real sealing wax, as such it is suitable for mailing and other suchlike use, but is fragile. Handle with care.
