Vintage Chinese hand-carved stone seal (chop) featuring an intricately carved guardian lion (Foo Dog) finial. The seal is carved from a beautifully marbled cream, tan, and russet-colored stone, likely soapstone or serpentine, with decorative carved panels around the body.
The underside features carved Chinese seal script characters intended for use with traditional red cinnabar ink. Whether displayed as Asian décor, added to a scholar’s object collection, or collected as a traditional Chinese seal, this is an attractive and detailed example.
