camel button, no hump, It may be omitted because of the back of the neck, and the printed surface is “Han Wu Huan leads all the leaders”, with 6 characters in white, neat and clear; “Wuhuan” was originally a species of Donghu, but was destroyed by the Huns in the early Han Dynasty. The rest of the ethnic group retreated to Wuhuan Mountain and took the mountain as its name. Since then, the tribes have gradually multiplied and scattered outside the borders of Hebei and Shanxi provinces. They have repeatedly attacked the Han border. At the end of the Han Dynasty, they were broken by Cao Cao and fled to the northeast. This seal was given by the imperial court in the Han Dynasty because of its attachment. It was renamed “Wu Pill” in the Wei and Jin Dynasties
