Seal stamp and counterseal stamp of Wolfert van Borselen 1298 - 1299

This pair of seal stamps and counterseal stamps, dating back to 1298-1299, belonged to Wolfert van Borselen. The larger, circular seal features a stylized tree, possibly a symbol of his family lineage. This piece serves as a fascinating glimpse into the historical use of seals for authentication and identity in the late 13th century. The design, though simple, reflects the artistic sensibilities of the time and showcases the craftsmanship involved in creating these important objects. This set, while anonymous in terms of its maker, provides insight into the historical significance of seals and their connection to individuals and families in the past.
