Description
Height:9cm(3.54in), Width:9.5cm(3.74in), Weight:1030g(2.271lb)A monumental square imperial seal of Qing dynasty carved from substantial Shoushan Tianhuang stone. The dense oily stone possesses warm honey?yellow hue and deep antique patina. The knob is high?relief carved with a group of powerful auspicious lions playing around a pearl. A beast?head holding an integrally carved movable ring is sculpted on seal side, with freely rotating ring demonstrating extraordinary craftsmanship. Fine rendering of lion manes, muscles and swirling cloud patterns shows consummate court carving technique. The vermilion seal face is executed in solemn nine?fold seal?script enclosed by meander border, neatly composed with upright deep?cut strokes, covered with thick accumulated cinnabar patina. Boasting large precious raw material, sophisticated open?work movable?ring and multi?lion carving, it ranks among the most remarkable Qing?period Tianhuang imperial seals.
