Seal 1701 - 1704

This silver seal, created by Dutch silversmith Jacob Boelen between 1701 and 1704, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period. The circular seal features a coat of arms, likely belonging to a prominent individual or family. The seal is mounted on a simple wooden base, adding a practical touch. The intricate detail of the coat of arms and the craftsmanship of the silver work make this seal a unique example of 18th-century Dutch silverwork. The seal, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable artifact that sheds light on the history of heraldry and the artistry of silverwork during this time.
