Do you know about "Sealing Stamps"?

A sealing stamp is a stamp made of wax that was used in medieval Europe to seal envelopes and documents, as well as to secure containers like bottles.＊

Sealing with a signature, sealing wax.

In the past, it was common for members of the upper class overseas to have their own original sealing stamp featuring their name, which was used similarly to a signature.

After writing a letter, it was customary to drop wax from a candle and use a sealing stamp to create a "seal" so that no one else could open it.
