A wonderful Georgian seal with an intaglio of a dove with an olive branch in its beak on a carnelian stone. It dates circa 1800-1820s. It has engraved in 'PAIX' which translates as 'peace' in French.
Doves have many meanings associated with them. They are most the easily tamed birds and the white dove has been a symbol of peace, innocence and love since Ancient Egypt. It is also the bird associated with Venus, the Goddess of Love.
A dove with an olive branch is a symbol of peace. It comes from the Old Testament story of Noah’s ark. After the Flood, Noah released a dove from his ship and when it came back, it was holding an olive branch in its beak, showing that there was land again. The dove also appears in the New Testament and in Christian art as a symbol of the Holy Spirit of God, the innocence of Mary, and as a messenger from God.
The olive also appears in many ancient texts in relation with peace. In Virgil’s Aeneid, for instance, the main character holds an olive branch to offer peace, and in other texts there are records of Roman generals holding up an olive branch to ask for peace after being defeated in battle.
Seals were used in the past for sealing letters or important documents. They can, of course, still be used for this today - as well as be worn on a fine gold chain around the neck or wrist. They are the most delightful miniature works of art.
