This scan depicts a typical Indenture with multiple red wax seals and signatures. And I believe applying the wax seal to the ribbon rather than simply stamping it directly on the document is a security measure.A 16th century vellum indenture with vestigal wax fob seal, scribed in cursive latin script, in a wall display with wat. Professionally matted behind glass in a vintage gilt frame. Good condition with creasing to vellum, some scratches and finish loss to frame.
