The four sides of seal body are shallow?carved with bamboo?rock and cloud motifs, together with lengthy inscriptions and collector’s miniature chops in elegant fine lines. The seal face is engraved with Chinese seal?script alongside Manchu text, neatly composed in forceful deep?cut strokes, with thick residual aged cinnabar paste preserved. Boasting substantial Tianhuang material, elaborate knob, side inscriptions and bilingual seal characters, it represents a magnificent heavy?weight Tianhuang seal of Qing dynasty.
