The knob and the exterior of the seal base are covered with low temperature yellow glaze. The rest of the seal and base is unglazed, exposing the coarse reddish-brown clay. Raised dragon designs with double antlers and five claws among clouds are represented on the top and four sides of the outside seal base. All dragon designs here were symbolic of the imperial emperor in ancient China. The seal is carved with nine relief characters in seal script reading \" zhao tao shi han qi yin\" (Seal of Enlisting and Suppressing Rebels and Attacks Commander Han Qi). Han Qi (1008-1075), with style name or zi or Zhigui, is a prestigious scholar and politician of the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127). He and Fan Zhongyan (989-1052), another contemporary renowned scholar and politician, once held the reputation of defending attacks from the Xixia dynasty in the west and were well-known as Han Fan at that time. However, this pottery square official seal is not a Northern Song product as claimed by the seal characters, but is a later copy. The official seal is beyond the normal size of Song official seals which are usually around 5.3 cm long and they are not necessarily of the square style. In addition, the knob on the Song official seals is always inscribed with the era name (nian kuan), but this large pottery seal does not bear any era name on the knob and although the knob on the Song official seals is usually placed on the center of the base top, the knob on this piece occupies the whole top of the seal base. The writing style of the seal characters here is not of the Song style. They are just carved in regular seal script. However, the Song official seals are characteristically engraved in 'jiu die zhuan' (seal script with nine winding brushstrokes). This type of seal script began to appear during the Sui and Tang periods, thrived during the Northern and Southern Song dynasties and continued until the Qing dynasty."},{"label":"Title","value":"Yellow-glazed pottery square-style official seal of Han Qi"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
