Imperial Russian Coat of Arms Wax Seal – Double-Headed Eagle with Saint George
This wax sealing stamp is inspired by the Imperial Coat of Arms of Russia, featuring the crowned double-headed eagle bearing the iconic shield of Saint George on its chest.
The double-headed eagle symbol was first introduced to Russia in the 15th century by Ivan III (the Great), influenced by his marriage into the Byzantine imperial family. Over the centuries, it evolved into the full imperial emblem under the Romanov dynasty, symbolising the unity of East and West and the divine sanction of the Tsar's authority.
At the centre of the eagle is the figure of Saint George, the patron saint of Moscow, depicted slaying a dragon — a powerful emblem of protection, victory, and the triumph of good over evil. The sceptre and orb clutched by the eagle represent sovereign power and dominion.
This design captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Russian Empire at its height. Perfect for collectors of imperial history, heraldry enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to the art of traditional seals.
