Wappen, Siegel und Symbole - Öffentliche Führung im Bundesbriefmuseum Schwyz
In the Middle Ages, seals corresponded to today's signatures. A covenant only becomes valid when a seal is affixed.
However, seals also had a great symbolic significance: the owner presented himself with images or symbols. Many seal images can still be recognized in today's cantonal coats of arms, while others - such as that of Schwyz - have been replaced by new symbols.
In the public guided tours, the practical function and symbolic meaning of the federal seals is presented and their connection with the cantonal coats of arms explained.
