    This is a Georgian intaglio wax seal fob.

    The chalcedony stone matrix depicts a bird flying out of a bird cage with the French motto above: Qui Me Néglige Me Perd

    Translated to: Who Neglects Me Loses Me

    I'm guessing this individual was pretty serious about correspondence. It's almost like a little message to the receiver, "If you don't respond to my letters soon, you lose me as a pen pal." LOL! At least that's my interpretation. I suppose it could be interpreted differently. Let me know what you think.

    The last photo shows the impression in play-doh. :-)
