Description
Finely carved Jade seal with three intertwined dragons forming the handgrip, lined with delicate inscriptions. A cuboid slab of celadon colored jade with natural inclusion marbling. Crisp even sides etched into the perimeter with well-defined lettering outlined in iron-red pigmentation. Protruding from the stamp column is the dominating figure of three dragons striding the seal. Sculpture of Dragon is centered on the seal block with evenly spaced gaps all the way around allowing for the users fingers to comfortably rest their fingers on the edges. Dragon is the symbol of eternity, Yang, and Yin, male vigor and fertility. Dragons are often shown chasing a pearl from the lore that the phases of the moon are caused by a dragon consuming it. In this case, the pearl may characterize wisdom. As the pearl also symbolizes veiled beauty or aptitude. It is one of the eight jewels of Buddhism, in this form it may be engulfed with flames to signify its enchanted powers. The seal fits snuggly on top of a hand carved stand. The Jade is perfectly polished and feels smooth to the touch. Translucent milk-white appearance with a reddish hint throughout.
