Features: This book is one in the series "Selected Masterpieces of Ancient Seal Impressions" and serves as a reference guide for Chinese Han Dynasty character seals. Multi-sided seals, as the name suggests, are seals where inscriptions or images are engraved on multiple faces of a single seal body. Combined seals, also known as "mother-and-child seals," consist of two or more seals of different sizes fitted together, creating a visual connection of a larger seal surrounding a smaller one or a mother embracing her child. The book includes numerous illustrations of multi-sided and combined seals, with a wide range of themes. It is a valuable resource for readers studying character seal collections and historical culture, offering inspirational and informative insights.
