Wax seal boxes for tablets - Doc - 05-02-2010
Does anyone have good pictures of 1st C AD wax seal boxes. I would like to make one which is why I would need pictures of the various sides including the inside and any dimensions.
Any help is appreciated.

Dated as 1st half of fifth, but maybe is worth a look.

Thats a nice one.
Thanks for the link. I wonder how different they would actually be from the 1st C AD seal boxes which, is the period I portray.
