Description from the seller

Magnificent French stamp seal in solid cast - fire-gilded and finely chased bronze.

The exceptionally artfully crafted handle features a fully three-dimensional female figure, set within lush Rocaille ornamentation.

The underside bears a finely engraved seal with an allegorical depiction of Justice – symbol of fairness – which suggests use in a legal or official context.

A remarkably heavy and high-quality object that goes far beyond the ordinary execution and is of great decorative and historical appeal.
