Mural guide
On a stone table by bamboo and a still lake stand square seals topped with lions, a coiled snake and other beasts, beside an open seal case and a box of seal paste, with a brush pot and a flower vase on the desk behind. The varied seal knobs evoke both the gravity of official seals and the charm of private ones.
