This silver seal, about 2.5 inches in diameter, was issued to the East India Company under the Mughal dynasty between 1766 and 1767. Not long after this seal was issued, the Anglo-Mysore Wars broke out. The company gained control of large areas of India south of the Sutlej River as a result of these wars.
The seal was donated to the British Museum by Mrs Estelle W Fuller in 1970 and is currently not on display. However, it was exhibited in 2016-2017 in Perth, Australia at Western Australian Museum. The exhibition was titledTravellers and Traders in the Indian Ocean World. Earlier in 2010-11, it was displayed in the exhibition Lasting Impressions: Seals from the Islamic World in London.
