AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful seal, dragon.

This is a Chinese seal (印章, yìnzhāng) with a dragon as a crown - a classic symbol of imperial power and luck in Chinese culture.

The dragon clasps the "pearl of wisdom" - an important motif in Chinese iconography

Chinese characters: On the front side are engraved calligraphic characters

Function: Traditionally seals were used to authenticate documents, artworks and correspondence - comparable to a signature in the West
