Never losing its fun, day by day, the Codicology lectures feel more and more enjoyable. Including Monday, April 21, 2025 yesterday. In this eleventh meeting, Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture students of the 2023 class were invited to practice stamping and sealing.
However, before practicing making stamps, students listened to material about the use of stamps and sealings in letters from the past. A letter stamp itself is a printed image, writing, or a combination of both on a letter or other important document. Its function is as a marker/identifying symbol that represents a person or group to indicate validity. In addition, a letter stamp also functions as a guarantee of the integrity (seal) of a letter. Materials that can be used for letter stamps are wax, clay, soot, or ink.
