Oh Teta! Wax Seal

A large oval paste glass seal featuring detailed imagery of a woman in profile and inscription ‘Teta’.

Why we love it

Oh Teta! How do we love thee … Such a beatific face (or at least the half we can see). A wonderfully uncluttered yet deceptively detailed large paste seal to make your heart sing. All that and ringlets to make the hair stylist for Bridgerton weep. Those Victorians loved a profile pic and this one’s a classic

As an aside, Teta is a common Hindu girl’s name, alleged to mean ‘innocent beauty’, which this seal so perfectly encapsulates.

Oh Teta! Such poise, such elegance. Such a shame we don’t know more about you.

And therein lies the beauty, the perfect talking point, who was Teta? And more importantly, who wouldn’t clamour to festoon their neck with a pendant featuring our mysterious lady?
