A desk seal used by Scottish writer and historian Sir Walter Scott is set to go under the hammer at an Edinburgh auction house this week.
The seal, which is reportedly likely to have been used in correspondence to King George IV, is one of just 100 seals with Scottish connections that are set to be sold off.
On Friday, Edinburgh auction house Lyon & Turnbull will auction these special seals off, with one expected to fetch up to a whopping £18,000.
