Qing Dynasty Hardstone Animal Seal
Height: 5.6 cm
Width: 2.5 × 2.1 cm

This is a Qing-period seal carved from hardstone.
The top features a finely carved animal, likely a mythical creature or auspicious beast, rendered in a rounded and lively style.
The body of the seal shows natural stone coloration, including areas of russet inclusions, typical of old hardstone materials.
The base bears a square seal script engraving, still retaining traces of red cinnabar paste
