Wax seals, originally uploaded by tr[n]ty.

Part of the supreme court of south australia’s historical collection. It’s in a little glass case near the front foyer of the district court. It’s actually kinda small. Pity they don’t have a proper exhibition set up, then i can go and fan girl the actual pen held by his honour justice sir samuel way, for example. What? It’s like how ‘normal’ people collect movie star memorabilia…

Anyway i thought this particular item was morbidly interesting. Death warrants.the colour is so fitting. Like, the clerk would be pulling out the black way and everyone in the room would be O_O and then if would hold the heavy seals up in the air and THUMP death warrant signed, sealed and soon to be delivered…
