Antique Wax Seal Press in Seagrass Channel

by Colette Bryant

Silvery winter light penetrates the clear water of a seagrass channel near Centro Habana, illuminating an antique wax seal press resting on the sandy bottom. The metal die, embossed with a heraldic crest, catches the beam, creating a sharp contrast against the swaying green blades of the seagrass. Suspended particles glitter like dust in the monsoon water column, floating around the heavy, rusted frame of the press. Low-angle framing emphasizes the depth of the channel, showing the press anchored firmly in the silt. Fine silt drifts across the crest of the die, softening the sharp edges of the heraldic symbols. A faint shadow stretches from the handle across the seagrass stalks.
