Framed Print of Seal of the First King of Siam, 1858. Creator: Unknown

Seal of the First King of Siam, 1858. This curious piece of workmanship has just been executed by Mr. J. W. Benson, of Ludgate-hill, by command of his Imperial Majesty the First King of Siam. The stone is a large block of cornelian, especially brought over by the Siamese Ambassadors. On one side is engraved, in relief, the words: Haec sunt vera regia dicta supremi regis Siami et regionum Athibalam [These are the true royal sayings of the supreme king of Siam and the regions of Athibala]. On the other side is beautifully engraved in high relief a very curious and intricate engraving, symbolic of Eastern life. This is mounted in a richly-chased gold handle, set with numerous diamonds and carbuncles, the whole forming an elaborate and costly piece of workmanship'. From Illustrated London News, 1858.
