Description
A pristine boxed set of two vintage Chinese stone seals, featuring charming hand-carved finials. Each seal is topped with a sculpture of a Monkey holding a Peach—a classic and auspicious Chinese motif symbolizing longevity, intelligence, and immortality (often associated with the Monkey King legend).
What makes this set particularly desirable for artists and calligraphers is that the bases are blank and uncarved. Unlike used antique seals that bear someone else's name, these "virgin" stones are ready to be engraved with your own custom signature, logo, or design.
The stones have a warm, amber-brown coloration with a smooth, polished finish. They arrive in their original blue fabric-covered presentation box with a white satin lining and bone-style toggle closure, making for a beautiful display or gift presentation.
