@Rosaliesmedievalwoman In the medieval seal of Clare College Cambridge, an oval Agnus Dei held by St John the Baptist also shows the lamb looking back at the cross:

You do the first color in one wax and then cut out the parts you want and press them into the seal. Then you press it into another layer of wax for multiple colors. Some people take this to a very high level. I learned from this video:
(I really enjoy the quiet style of 하든 Harden's videos. She is always exploring new types of wax and new ways to use seals.)
The little parcel that could has finally arrived. I ordered these wax stamps on January 4th. They have been working their way through the China and US postal services ever since, with multiple week-long+ gaps between movement. Another package my wife thought was lost arrived today, too.
But of course it arrives on a day when I have hours of laundry ahead and no time to actually try them out. Maybe tomorrow.
