Vintage Chinese Finely Carved Yellow Pixiu Archaic Dragon Seal w/Stand 20th Cent
Located in Richmond, CA
This vintage Chinese seal is an exquisite example of craftsmanship, intricately carved to feature a Pixiu, the legendary son of the dragon, perched majestically atop a square mound. The Pixiu is vividly depicted, complete with water flowing from its mouth and eyes that bulge with mythical intensity. Pixiu is considered a creature of wealth and is believed to have the power to attract and protect its owner's fortunes. It is often used in Feng Shui for this purpose. Pixiu figures are often used as talismans or ornaments to attract wealth and good fortune.
The square mound itself serves as a canvas for archaic decorations, featuring stylized dragons that are intricately carved into the detailed ground. These dragons not only add aesthetic appeal but also imbue the piece with historical and cultural significance, linking it to ancient Chinese traditions and folklore.
What elevates this seal further is the material's yellow hue, which displays characteristics of the highly prized field yellow "Tian Huang...
