Story
DE LEAL AMOR IEO SVY FLOVR I am the flower of the true love says the inscription on this exquisite seal matrix from the 14th century. Decorated with a beautiful female figure wearing elegant dress, this would have been the personal object of a high-status lady. She would have used it to seal her own correspondence. A symbol of her power, individuality and literacy perhaps? What a way to mark your letters! Whether a wonderful gift for the prolific writer, a romantic gift to a loved one, or a symbol of your own authority, this seal matrix is perfect for you.
