International audienceThe counterseal of Margaret de Beaumont, countess of Winchester, bears the image of an antique intaglio and a magical legend. This invocation was used in a large number of protective spells, while magico-medical powers were attributed to gemstones, especially when they were engraved. The iconography of the intaglio chosen by the countess, associated to the magical word agla, suggests this seal was used as a protection during trips, as this lady travelled a lot. But the medical powers of gemstones and the use of an incantation, considering the pecular familial context, allow another hypothesis: this seal maybe had prophylactic properties.Le sceau d'Hélène de Quincy : modèles et influences-Hélène de Quincy, veuve d'Alan ...
