This is a fine Late Qing to Republican period Chinese Shoushan stone seal, acquired from a local auction house in Belgium.

The seal features a detailed carving of a reclining buffalo (ox) atop the stone, with fine craftsmanship and natural patina consistent with its age. The cylindrical body is intricately incised with landscape scenes and calligraphic poetry, reflecting the literati aesthetic of the era. The stone itself is smooth and warm to the touch, showing natural inclusions and a rich aged patina from decades of collection.
