This swivel fob seal originally hung from an unknown gentleman's watch chain.
The central seal can be turned on its axis, and is set with a white agate plaque on one side, and a heliotrope (also known as bloodstone) plaque at the other. A cute little detail is the fitting that holds the seal, which is shaped as two coiling snakes, with their tails creating a bale at the top.
