Uninscribed Seal of
Shoushan Stone with
Winged Beast Knob
Ch'ing Dynasty (A.D. 1644-
1911)
Height 8.8cm
Shoushan stone displays
an unctuous mixture of
yellow, red and white. The
seal knob is carved into the
shape of a winged beast with
a lion's head that is lowered
and has its maw agape. The
musculature is powerfully
rendered, and the entire
body is incised with fine
lineation suggesting a
woolly coat of hair. The
square seal face is devoid
of any carved inscription.
