Vintage Ecclesiastical Wax Seal Impression of the Convent of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Based on the visual evidence, the selected region features an ecclesiastical wax seal impression (specifically a kerkzegel, as written in Dutch at the top of the card) depicting the Virgin Mary .The iconographic style depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a throne while holding the infant Jesus Christ on her lap. This classic composition is traditionally known as the Sedes Sapientiae (Seat of Wisdom). She is framed beneath an architectural Gothic canopy, a design choice very typical for European monastic, conventual, or cathedral seals dating from the medieval period through to later historical revivals. The text circling the border of the wax itself contains the formal Latin legislative legend (sigillum) identifying the specific church, abbey, or convent that owned the matrix. This Seal is in Excellent condition as pictured. The Seal measures 2" in diameter. See pictures for complete condition and description.
