Silver and gold plated Jiaolong Niu “the treasure of the heir of the Qing Dynasty”

[Silver-plated Jiaolongniu “Great Qing Inheritance of the Son of Heaven”]

“Great Qing Inheritance of the Son of Heaven”. In the early Qing Dynasty, the silver-plated Jiaolongniu square seal was full of text characters. The surface is 7.9 cm square, the overall height is 7.6 cm, and the button height is 5 cm
It is one of the 25 treasures designated by Emperor Qianlong and the only gold-plated seal among the 25 treasures of the Qing Dynasty. The Treasure Manual of the Jiaotai Palace records that this treasure is used to “follow the rope with the seal” and is a symbol of the succession of the throne. However, it is rarely used. It is only used occasionally on the imperial tablet in the palace. In the 13th year of Qianlong’s reign (1748), when the imperial edict changed the Manchu characters in the seal seal seal to Manchu seal characters, the treasure was also considered by Emperor Qianlong to be “inherited from the previous generation and handed down to the world” and was not altered
