Hi Rodney

I have no idea what the stamp is but just wanted to say how beautifully
designed it is. Strangely it has both the staff of Tiresias (I don't
think it qualifies as a Cadeucis because it doesn't have any wings at
the top) which denotes medicine and below this the "Fasces", the symbol
of the Roman Lictors, denoting the law. An interesting juxtaposition of
Greek and Roman symbolism. If it is fiscal I would be interested to
know it's use.
