| Unique and interesting antique seal for Army General. Finely carved softstone in the design of tortoise. Tortoise represents rule of 1000 years and never dying, can survive with no water, little food. The left seal reads "Wu Ying Si Ma", Si Ma is an ancient title for Supreme Commander and Ying is Five Regiments, i.e. The Army Supreme Commander. The right seal reads "Jiang Jun Zheng Yin" Jiang Jun means General, Zheng is rightous or upright, and Yin means seal, thus The Righteous Generals Seal. The tortoises have some chips, as shown in photographs, due to their age. | ||
