sealing wax, seal |
| has gloss | eng: Sealing wax is a material which, after melting, quickly hardens (to paper, parchment, ribbons and wire, and other material) forming a bond that is difficult to separate without noticeable tampering. Wax is used to verify something such as a document is unopened, to verify the sender's identity, for example with a signet ring, and as decoration. Sealing wax can be used to take impressions of other seals. Wax was used to seal letters close and later (from about the 16th century) envelopes. (Before sealing wax, the Romans used bitumen for this purpose.) |
