[Shoushan Stone Dragon Phoenix Auspicious Beast Button “The Treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi’s Imperial Tour”]
“The Treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi’s Imperial Tour”, in the late Qing Dynasty, Shoushan stone, with a square seal of dragon phoenix auspicious beasts carved in a shape, and seal script in Chinese. The surface is 10.4 cm square, the overall height is 12 cm, and the button height is 9.9 cm
This is the official seal of Empress Dowager Cixi. It is worth noting that the engraving of the seal is extremely delicate, especially when the phoenix occupies the top of the seal, seemingly holding the dragon and unicorn under it under its wings, forming a posture of phoenix ascending and descending, which echoes the power of Empress Dowager Cixi at that time
