Carved red Jasper oval presents a mirror image of the most famous anti-slavery icon, a chained kneeling slave with the plea AM I NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER? The ornate fob is almost certainly American made and the Signet may be one from a packet sent by Josiah Wedgwood himself to statesman Benjamin Franklin for distribution among American opponents of slavery.
