AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The bow (also called "bridge" or 橋鈕 qiáo niǔ) serves as a handle to grip and manipulate the seal when stamping. You slip your finger(s) through the opening to press the seal firmly into the red seal paste or ink.
Drakenpoort
In combination with the dragons, this may refer to the legend of the Dragon Gate (龍門), where carps that climb the waterfall are transformed into dragons (a symbol of success and transformation).
Artistic integration: The way the two dragons wind around the arch creates a dynamic composition - they appear to guard the gate or move through it, which reinforces the strength and protective function of the seal.
The seal is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very fine and detailed.
Carefully packed and shipped insured.
Weight: 1150 grams.
