A SILVER-WIRE-INLAID BRONZE SEAL
18TH CENTURY
The square-profle seal is surmounted by a fnely cast coiled bearded dragon, and the scaly ridged body
and muscular legs are highlighted by inlaid silver wire. One side of the seal is inscribed ‘Jia ding qian shi qiu
zhuan’ which may be translated as ‘the seal of Qian Shiqiu from Jiading’. The seal face reads ‘Baoluntang
yin xin’ which may be translated as ‘Seal of Baoluntang’.
