Zeniba's Seal

Zeniba's seal is a precious object owned by Zeniba. The seal is protected by a talisman. The seal is not seen during the film. It seems that the spell was also broken when Chihiro held the seal in his hands. The protective spell causes the thief to die.

The seal was stolen by the white dragon Ryuu. He acted on behalf of the Witch Yubaba. Because of this order, Haku (as Dragon Ryuu) was almost killed. The dragon spits out the seal with the black worm after Chihiro has fed it with the herb dumpling.

Then, Chihiro brings the seal back to Zeniba and asks her for Haku's forgiveness. As she takes the seal in her hand, she notes that the wards of the seal have been broken. Chihiro apologizes to her for crushing the black worm. Then Zeniba laughs brightly and explains that the worm is a parasite implanted into Haku by her sister Yubaba.
