Glass, wood
probably mid/late 1800s
This small glass seal 'stone' with a bust of John Wesley is mounted to a wooden handle. The seal didn't belong to John Wesley, rather it was one was one of a huge range of items available in the 1800s commemorating Wesley.
Traces of the red sealing wax (to seal letters) can still be seen adhering to the seal.
