Description: An old seal was made of nephrite white jade. Carved on the nob with motif of a crouching Chi-long, this jade was deliberately dyed black in part with traditional skills(Lao-ti-yuo) which was commonly used in Chinese old jades. With greasy slippery feel, this old jade was most likely being fastened under Chinese scholar's clothing and caressed within palms instead of being considered as a seal material. An elegant mood can hardly be reflected in my bad photo skills than if you see it in real. Date: Song or Yuan Dynasty (12th-15th Century) Width: 2.4cm and 2.6cm Height: 2.5cm Condition: In perfect condition except one minor old chip on bottom of the seal.
