About the Item
This vintage Chinese seal is an exquisite example of craftsmanship, intricately carved to feature a Pixiu, the legendary son of the dragon, perched majestically atop a square mound. The Pixiu is vividly depicted, complete with water flowing from its mouth and eyes that bulge with mythical intensity. Pixiu is considered a creature of wealth and is believed to have the power to attract and protect its owner's fortunes. It is often used in Feng Shui for this purpose. Pixiu figures are often used as talismans or ornaments to attract wealth and good fortune.
The square mound itself serves as a canvas for archaic decorations, featuring stylized dragons that are intricately carved into the detailed ground. These dragons not only add aesthetic appeal but also imbue the piece with historical and cultural significance, linking it to ancient Chinese traditions and folklore.
What elevates this seal further is the material's yellow hue, which displays characteristics of the highly prized field yellow "Tian Huang" (not tested). Known for its rich color and fine texture. "Tian Huang" is one of the most sought-after materials for Chinese seals, adding an extra layer of value and desirability to this already remarkable piece.
Overall, this seal is not merely a functional object but a work of art that encapsulates a rich tapestry of Chinese mythology, artistry, and high-quality material. It would make a distinguished addition to any collection of fine Asian art.
