This is a large and detailed historical wax seal reproduction of the imperial seal of Empress Maria Theresia, based on the 1749 model. The piece was made after original seals preserved in the Bavarian State Archives in Munich (Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, München). It is a 20th century reproduction created for historical and decorative purposes and is not an original 18th century artifact. Maria Theresia was ruler of the Habsburg Monarchy and governed extensive territories in Central Europe, including Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Croatia, Transylvania, Moravia, Silesia, parts of Italy (such as Lombardy and Tuscany), and the Austrian Netherlands (present-day Belgium). The rich heraldic design of this seal reflects the many lands under her rule and symbolizes her power and authority as one of the most important European sovereigns of her time.
