with-signet-ring-his-own
A signet ring or seal, often worn on the finger and used to impress an identifying mark or emblem into clay or wax, signifying authority, authenticity, or ownership; in official contexts, such a seal would validate documents or mark possessions. The term is attested as an Aramaic loanword within the Hebrew Bible, and its referent is the engraved metal or stone article itself used for sealing, rather than a generic seal impression.
