The seal has thick patina with earthy yellow and turquoise mineral infiltration, and vermilion cinnabar traces remain on seal surfaces. The characters are in small seal script with neat layout and primitive, powerful strokes. This rare multi-sided personal seal combines multiple inscriptions on one piece for easy carrying.
