nothing is impossible antique wax seal - antique desk wax seal
Make an impression with a lovely large 19th century desk wax seal depicting a shield with a feathered wing on one side and a diamond shape on the other, under a helmet and above some sort of medal of honor. This is surrounded by the Latin sentiment NIL MORTALIBUS ARDUUM which translates NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
So much mystery but I'll leave the enjoyment of the research to you.
