Russian Coat of Arms Wax Seal – Double-Headed Eagle Emblem
This wax seal stamp is inspired by the historic coat of arms associated with the Russian state, featuring the crowned double-headed eagle with a central shield.
The double-headed eagle was adopted in the 15th century under Ivan III, reflecting new political connections and the development of a unified state emblem. Over time, it became a key symbol used in official seals, documents, and state representation.
The central shield depicts a mounted figure motif commonly associated with the city of Moscow, shown in traditional heraldic form. The eagle holds a sceptre and orb, symbols traditionally associated with governance and authority in medieval and early modern state imagery.
This design represents the evolution of one of Eastern Europe’s most recognisable historic emblems, used across centuries in administrative and ceremonial contexts.
