  • nice to see its back too, it is also a little different from mine. My seal has one little notch, which I had not noticed until now, I thought it was a small damage, but perhaps it is also intentional! It is good to see this one, so I noticed the little notch on the backside of mine!  I really love that piece, cannot say why, but it is something special for me too!
