Caspian twisted and turned the stamp, scrutinizing every small opening.
After ten minutes of scrutiny, as the sunlight fell directly on the wood carving, he noticed the smallest of the lines where the bull's neck meets the body.
Had he not been an artisan himself, he would never have noticed it at all.
That's how well made the wooden stamp is.
He wondered where in the world did Xena learn such fine craftsmanship.
After all, they don't teach woodworking to noble girls.
He carefully applied pressure and opened the stamp.
There was a small reddish onyx stone in there, with a smaller insignia of his knight's emblem.
This he knows is not done in a day.
After all, onyx is as hard as diamond. It needs special devices and trained craftsman to carve this kind of piece.
For something this fine, it needs to be made in .. Espana.
Caspian smiled from ear to ear.
