In China, seal carving is traditionally recognized as one of the "Four Treasured Arts", along with painting, calligraphy and poetry. Currently, name chops or stamps are the constant companions of Chinese calligraphers and painters. Artists follow the custom of stamping their works with their name chops to "sign" them and as proof of authenticity. The bottom of the stone is your or your child's name in Chinese, packaged in a Chinese decorated box.
Please note that the color and pattern of this stone can vary from seal to seal reflecting variation in the natural material used. Chinese name translation and chop face direction are included in the package. In addition, the box may looks dfferent from the image on the website.
