Objects: Wax Seals

If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal.

Stamp seal of the leprosorium Melaten in Cologne, (1249), Historical Archive Cologne

And here is the seal of the same leprosorium of the 13th century. The inscription says: SIGILLVM LEPROSORVM COLONIENISIVM [sic] (seal of the lepers of Cologne).

On the right we see a rich resident of the city titled DIVES. On the left LAZARUS, above him the hand of god.

Notice the little dog, licking the sores at his legs.
