Blue jade nose button “concubine” print

[Blue jade nose button “concubine” print]

Blue jade nose button “concubine” print, Eastern Han Dynasty, print 2.1 × 2.1 cm, 1.4 cm high
This is a private print of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is made of sapphire, and has a nose button. The seal character is Han seal character, white text, and the words “Qiyue” are read horizontally from the right. The two characters are juxtaposed. The seal character method is still refined, but the layout is slightly scattered. Each of the four vertical surfaces of the printing table has a set of raised pilferage patterns that reduce the ground. The table top is converging upward into a slope shape, and slightly concave into an arc. It is covered with dark lightning patterns. The printed body is moist and full of spots. The spot color is as yellow as dry leaves
Among the private seals of names in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, women’s history seals are sometimes seen, most of which are made of copper, and rare are made of jade. Most of the copper castings are printed on both sides, with one side casting its own name and the other side casting its name “Qimou”. At present, there are only two words of “Qimou” printed on the jade female history plate.
