  •  Info These two parts of the same device were taken in photograph through a glass. I couldn't manage the light. The seal was above and the counter seal below (you sea the shadow of the seal above the pic of the counter seal). For a visual effect with the light, the objects are not absolutely perpendicular to the ground, nor parallel to the glass (the camera had to be, because of the reflection), that's why they are not absolutely sharp everywhere, especially on their below part. Nevertheless, you may read on the seal the names of Brenet and Denon, engravers.
