A JADEITE TOAD OVAL SEAL <br/>REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Carved from Myanmar jade, the seal bears the texture of ancient glass. The green and white colors are distinct, while the seal button makes full use of the essence of the whole jade. A three-legged toad is embossed as the high button. The lower body of the seal does not reveal any patterns to simply manifest an alternative beauty to Myanmar jade. The colors of the circular seal stand in strong contrast, especially the texture of the delicate toad button, which typically wins people’s visual favor. Meanwhile, the three-legged toad symbolizes wealth and good fortune. This is indeed a delicate jade treasure of the highest quality.
