This stamp set shows the Four Symbols (四象, Sì Xiàng) that guard the four cardinal directions in Chinese cosmology and feng shui.
The four creatures and their directions:

Red Phoenix/Bird (朱雀, Zhū Què) – South, summer, fire element
White Tiger (白虎, Bái Hǔ) – West, autumn, metal element
Black Tortoise/Warrior (玄武, Xuán Wǔ) – North, winter, water element
Function of this stamp set:
Feng shui rituals – Activating protection in all four directions
Talismans and amulets – Stamping protective symbols on paper, cloth, or sealing wax
Ceremonial documents – Blessing contracts, birth announcements or important
gescriptions
Space activation – Symbolically marking the four directions in a home or temple
Collectible ritual object – The complete set represents cosmic balance and full protection
The red background enhances the protective and fortune-bringing power. The bronze finish and patina suggest an authentic or high-quality reproduction ritual object.
