A CHINESE ROCK CRYSTAL DRAGON SEAL

拍品描述

Weighing 820 grams, this square seal measures 8 cm long, 8 cm wide and 7 cm tall. Fashioned from translucent warm-toned rock crystal, it boasts a substantial cubic base with the carved seal impression visible along its underside. The upper knob features a dynamically coiled dragon meticulously sculpted with finely rendered scales, facial features and curled appendages. A woven golden-brown cord tassel is fastened to the carving for traditional mounting. Natural faint internal veining within the crystal lends organic depth to the piece. Showcasing sophisticated lapidary carving and auspicious dragon symbolism, this refined stamp is a coveted addition to curated collections of classical Chinese hardstone seals.
