So says Judith, a young Jew from Bethulia, in the bible when she describes her heroic act that freed the people of Israel from the siege by Nebuchadnezzar's army.

Struck by her beauty, the Assyrian general invited her to a lavish banquet in his tent. After eating and drinking, Holofernes, now drunk, fell asleep on his bed, allowing Judith to seize her chance to draw her scimitar and strike the deadly blow.height: ca. 11,7 cm / ca. 4.6 inchweight: circa 169 gr.condition: firm and solid, authentic patine, very slight signs of age and use, the matrix can be removed easy, if you want to put another on itother and Dutch search terms: antique antieke antik sceau wax lacquer seal cachet signet siegel petschaft stamp waxstamp letterstamp letterseal stempel zegel lakstempel lakzegel fob matrix initialen A C Rsee our other items in our shop, category Antique Seals, for more seals free world wide shipping - this means that the shipping costs are included with the sale price - you will be ordering registrated shipment provided by PostNL from The Netherlands, EU- shipping out of the EU will be under Incoterm DAP and HM-code 9706000000 - this will be according to the PostNL conditions and destinations - the shipping will be, if possible, with priority, tracking and insurance offered by PostNL for loss during shipment - the shipping costs differ per country - at pick-up the shipping costs will be refunded or deducted VAT / BTW: the seller is subject to the Dutch/NL, EU sales tax called “Margin Scheme” (in Dutch: “BTW Margeregeling”), the seller’s tax number in The Netherlands, EU is: NL001190378B30 we are: delta 98 den haag The Hague, The Netherlands, EU registrated at: Chambers of Commerce in The Netherlands / KvK Haaglanden: file 27133335
