This wax seal stamp features the Seal of Mexico "Escudo Nacional de México", a symbol deeply rooted in the ancient traditions and enduring spirit of the Mexican people.
Inspired by the legendary founding of Tenochtitlán, the seal depicts a majestic golden eagle perched upon a prickly pear cactus, grasping a rattlesnake in its beak and talon. This imagery is drawn from the sacred prophecy of the Mexica (Aztecs), who were guided to the site where they would establish their great city—an image that remains a proud emblem of Mexican identity to this day.
First adopted officially after Mexico’s independence from Spain in the early 19th century, the seal has evolved, but its heart has remained the same: strength, resilience, and triumph in the face of adversity. Surrounded by a wreath of oak and laurel branches, representing strength and victory, the design embodies the spirit of a nation forged through endurance and courage.
This wax seal is perfect for historians, collectors, patriots, or anyone wishing to add a piece of rich Mesoamerican and national heritage to their correspondence, sealing their letters with the enduring symbol of Mexico’s proud legacy.
