This is a black-and-white engraved seal inside a wreath of leaves. At the center sits an open book with a triangle behind it. Above the book, a banner reads *"Christiano Sigillo"* and below, another banner says *"Ann: Domini 1650."* The edges of the wreath are detailed with small leaves and acorns. The seal looks like it belongs to Harvard College, based on the text. It’s framed like an official mark, which was often used to stamp books or documents. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this seal is kept.
