Seal engraving
Seal engraving is the art of carving intricate designs, symbols, or text into a hard material like stone, metal, or glass to create a stamp or signature. Historically, seals were used to authenticate documents or items, serving as a signature or symbol of authority. Modern seal engraving involves precise craftsmanship to produce detailed, durable impressions that can be pressed into wax, clay, or other soft substances. This art combines artistic skill with technical precision, ensuring the engraved design remains clear and recognizable when used as a seal or stamp.
