Seal

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Red square object with Chinese characters carved into it. The object is made of stone or clay and has a weathered appearance. It is bright red with black areas where the carvings have worn down to reveal a darker material. The characters are carved into two sections, one on the left and one on the right. The left section has four characters stacked vertically. The right section has two characters with a line through the middle. The object casts a shadow on a gray surface to the right and below. The object is likely a Seal, by artist Seal.
