White jade seal carved "Four-clawed Dragon", Qing Dynasty

Seal made of milky white jade with gold and ochre hues. The upper part features a sculpture of a four-clawed dragon, depicted reclining on its hind legs, its body arched and its mane flowing. The creature appears alert, its head raised and its expression determined, while its tail curves elegantly towards its back. Scroll-like details are harmoniously integrated in low relief on the limbs. The polished rectangular base is engraved on its underside with seal script characters "行有恒堂审定真迹". Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) or later.
