Beautiful seal, dragon.

This is a Chinese seal (印章, yìnzhāng) with a dragon atop it — a classic symbol of imperial power and good fortune in Chinese culture.

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

Chinese characters: On the front are engraved calligraphic characters

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