Pair of Islamic Brass Personal Seal Stamps with Calligraphic Inscriptions, Indian. - This group comprises two finely engraved Islamic brass seal stamps (seal matrices), each fitted with a suspension loop and engraved in reverse with elegant Arabic or Persian calligraphy. One seal has an oval face while the other is octagonal, both designed to produce crisp impressions in clay or sealing wax, as demonstrated by the accompanying impressions. Such seals served as personal signatures and were used to authenticate documents, correspondence, commercial transactions, and ownership of goods. The deeply cut calligraphic inscriptions, executed in traditional Islamic script, likely record the owner's name, honorific title, or a short pious invocation. Crafted from cast and engraved brass with a naturally aged patina, these seal stamps reflect the refined metalworking and calligraphic traditions of the Islamic world.
