Cachet
A cachet is an official seal, as on a letter or document.
Judah realizes that he is the father of his daughter-in-law Tamar's child when she presents his cachet. (Genesis 38)
He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" And she said, " Your seal and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him. (Genesis 38:18, NASB)
Note: This oil on canvas of Judah and Tamar was painted by Emile-Jean-Horace Vernet (1789-1863) in 1840. It part of the Wallace Collection in London.
