Georgian Seal With TO BE OR NOT TO BE Intaglio c1770 Wax Seal Rare Shakespeare

Such a sweet Seal,love the wording To Be Or Not To Be. It used to be used as a seal with hot wax. It is in good condition,a touch bent on one side but surely can be made straight. The intaglio is in great condition. I didn't clean but mostly will be gilded once cleaned. Measures approx 2.4cm in height and the round diameter about 1.2cm.

An intaglio seal with the wording "To be or not to be" would be used as a personal symbol, likely by a lover of literature or an actor, to signify one's deep contemplation of life, death, and existential angst. The seal would be pressed into hot wax to authenticate or personalize letters, documents, or gifts. 

Primary use: Personal signature

Like other seal fobs from the Georgian and Victorian eras, the "To be or not to be" seal would serve as a personalized mark for correspondence. 

Thanks for looking:-)
