Posted By: Corey Fri, Dec 22, 2017 I guess translation of the seal script was to big a task for the frequenters of this board. Or perhaps they didn't find the seals as interesting as the buyer who paid more than 200,000 dollars for them. |

Posted By: mikeoz Sun, Dec 24, 2017 I think I can understand why others have been slow to offer translations of the seal carving. It doesn't appear to be a very flattering expression. |

Posted By: Corey Wed, Dec 27, 2017 Thanks for the reply and the assistance with the translation. Doesn't make much sense to me. But one of the seals is engraved with a poem(?), and I think that the character inside the square might be an artists signature. Can you confirm that it's a signature? |

Posted By: Corey Sat, Jan 27, 2018 If someone else her could assist wtih the identification of the charater inside the square, it would be great. But there is an article about the seals in the Antiques Trade Gazette. Log in required though. Might buy acess to that site myself. |
