Late 19th century Chinese soapstone seal of rectangular section carved with raised characters on the bottom. The first photo shows the image of printing surface flipped left to right, so the seal can be read. Off-white soapstone, crisp carving of the characters on the bottom, inscribed on the side (probably the name of the owner), old traces of red seal paste in the grooves, very nice scholar’s object. Height 1.35 inches, printing surface size 0.4 x 0.2 inches.
