拍品专文

Small seals of this type were made for personal use, and are thought  to have been worn suspended from the owner's belt. They were made from jade, gold, silver, gilt-bronze and bronze. A small silver tortoise seal of this type is illustrated by W.P. Yetts, The Eumorfopoulos Collection, vol. II, London, 1930, pl. LXV, no. B 289, along with two small gilt-bronze chimera seals, nos. B 288 and B 290.
