Thank you I. Nagy for your interpretation and response. Most appreciated. In response to the gentleman who was interested in the validity of the piece being yellow jade, that is a good question. I recently purchased it and I am waiting for it to arrive. How do I test for jade? They say one of the foremost experts of jade was an old blind man. When I first get a jade piece I feel the piece to see if it has that cold jade feel and distinct texture. I look at the piece in sunlight and I look at the piece with light shining through. I look at it with a magnifying glass and a jeweler's loupe. I run specific gravity (density) tests with sensitive scales. The style of carving and craftsmanship are observed and the jade object is viewed as any similar objects to that time-period. I too am rather skeptical that the seal is actually jade but it will be interesting to see what material the seal is actually made from and I will keep you all informed. It is nice to know the meaning of the seal mark. Now if I can find someone with that name maybe I can sell them a chop seal?
