Description from the seller
Medieval seal of the Tenures of the Hospital of Cantimpret – Mons – Sainte-Waudru – 13th/14th century
Rare medieval wax seal in black wax representing the coat of arms of Sainte-Waudru within a diamond-shaped shield: a cross accompanied by three chevrons. The Gothic peripheral inscription, partially legible, refers to the “tenures of the hospital of Cantimpret,” dependent on the chapter of Sainte-Waudru in Mons.
The reverse preserves an old handwritten identification label mentioning an erudite provenance and a bibliographic reference to the Annales of the Archaeological Circle of Mons. There is also an old manuscript inventory number “105.”
A historically and sigillographic object of interest, evidencing the land and hospital administration of medieval Hainaut. The wax shows flaws, chips, and ancient cracks consistent with the piece’s age.
A very beautiful collection piece for the seals, medieval heraldry, and religious history enthusiast of Mons.
Period: 13th–14th century
Origin: Mons, Hainaut, Belgium
Material: black wax
Condition: wear and losses visible, stabilized, with ancient collection annotations.
