5.
An English ivory colonial seal from c. 1820-1860 shaped like a Buddhist
stupa with a silver cap. There were hardly any Buddhists left in India
then, but Ceylon was Buddhist and famous for its ivory carving, so the
seal probably came fromCeylon. It shows the initials "IL" and
floral wreaths. There are spots of red sealing ink left over from its
use. These seals were used to close letters as there were no envelopes
then. Probably a watch fob seal that hung from a gentleman's watch chain.
