BAR, Seal 532

Seals were images carved into a matrix which, when pressed into a substance like warm wax, left bi-hind an inverse of the picture on the seal. The image, and often a legend written around it, identified the author of the document and was meant to prevent people from forging or tampering with official correspondence.
