Georgian 18ct Gold Triple Sided Rock Crystal Seal with Carved Crest Intaglios

215M
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold triple sided carved rock crystal seal For the Hood family. It has their crest on one side, a coat of arms on another, and the top of their crest featuring a bird with an anchor on the final side. The motto “juncta jn uno” “joined in one” or “United in one” and a further motto “Tria juncta in uno” which is for The Most Honourable Order of the Bath. This is a British order of chivalry founded by George I in 1725. The name derives from the elaborate medieval ceremony for appointing a knight, which involved bathing (as a symbol of purification) as one of its elements. The knights so created were known as “Knights of the Bath”. This seal was made circa 1780.
