Description :

Traditional Chinese soapstone seal featuring a hand-carved guardian beast atop a rectangular base, paired with its original red and gold brocade storage box. The stone displays warm brown tones with natural veining and a polished finish. The beast carving is rendered in classic stylized form, with defined mane and tail.

The underside of the seal bears incised Chinese characters filled with red ink, consistent with traditional studio or personal use. The impression is clean and well-defined. The fitted box is lined in white fabric and secured with a toggle clasp, featuring a red textile exterior with repeating gold diamond motifs.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with minor wear from age and use. Ink residue present on the seal base. Box shows light handling wear; closure remains functional.

A fine example of Chinese scholar’s objects and traditional seal carving, suitable for collectors of Asian antiques or decorative arts.



Dimensions : 3 in L x 2 in W x 2 in H
