  • eight immortals birthday relief qing stone

This seal is carved with Tianhuang stone, the famous material of the Shoushan Stone, with relief images of Ba Xian Shang Shou Tu, meaning 'Eight Immortals Offering Birthday Felicitations to the Queen Mother' on four sides. The different figures in the work look true to life, and the carving of mountain stones and old pines show exquisite workmanship. The composition is complicated but not messy, demonstrating superb artistry. With the combination of the quaint-coloured, precious stone material and the exquisite carving techniques, this seal has thus become a precious work of art.
