Sealing wax is a wax material which, after melting, hardens quickly (to paper, parchment, ribbons and wire, and other material), forming a seal that is difficult to break without noticeable tampering. Wax is used to verify that something such as a document is unopened, to verify the sender's identity (for example with a seal stamp or signet ring), and as decoration.
