Seal Stone Carving Service
Seal Stones Carving Service
A painting is not considered complete unless it bears one or more of the artist's seals. These small patches of vermilion red usually spell out the name of the artist, sometimes the name of the studio, or a statement referring to the mood or inspiration of the artist.
A seal is carved in stone by hand, which makes it virtually impossible to create an identical copy of a seal. In China, Japan and Korea, a person's seal is recognised as having the same status as their signature. Seals are made out of various materials, usually stone, but also semi-precious stones (jade, crystals), ivory, wood, etc.
