Description

Sello de jade "Dragón en las nubes", Dinastía Han occidental

Exquisite white jade seal carved in a single piece. Formed by a quadrangular and robust base, adorned on its four faces by archaic motifs in relief, divided by a central braided band. In the upper area there is an imposing dragon with its body folded on itself, looking straight ahead and its jaws open, revealing its sharp teeth. It is placed on a base made up of multiple intertwined bodies of smaller dragons, of which one can barely glimpse the tangled tails or the robust legs. At the base, four characters "石易之印" are carved in relief. Traditionally, jade seals not only had a practical function, but were also a symbol of power and social status. The figure of the dragon itself underscores the importance of the owner and his connection to the upper classes and even imperial power. Measurements: 7.8 x 5.6 x 5.6 cm Weight: 580 g
