It is for small favors or gifts, and can also be used as an envelope seal.
To me, this is the ultimate in Shakespearean imagery. Rough wood, rough lettering, rambunctious Shakespearean partying is the essence of this design. A character is raiding the mead barrel; he wears Tudor-style clothing with lace at the neck, slashed and puffed sleeves, and most likely a codpiece as well. His feathered hat has fallen onto the floor; he doesn`t seem to notice as he happily pours the mead into a large stoneware pitcher. It appears he will be enjoying a large quantity of this beverage. Rough, hand-lettered text is mounted across the top and up the sides of this design. Overall, Elizabethan has the look of a woodblock print, and of fun times long, long ago.
