Description

The listing, Chinese Jade Foo Dog Dragon Stamp has ended.

I got this at auction in a box lot. I have no idea how old it is. I believe it's Nephrite Jade as it can be scratched. It has a foo dog, dragon on the front with what i'm assuming are Chinese characters on the bottom. It's about 2 inches square and weighs over 2.5 ounces
Shipped anywhere USA with tracking.

Do you know any of the meaning of the characters or the significance of the piece?

Jul 30th, 2014 at 10:11:22 PM PDT by

Probably a name, or something to signify a particular house, that's just an assumption.

I've ran into a few of these just this yr. Never seen them before that though, the lady whom had one up for bid received a ton of credits, I went really high then was outbid :( I'm watching. Do you know any history behind this at all? Were they currency or I don't know :) let me know if you know. Good luck. Nikki

It looks more like Pi Yao, a figure or token used as a cure in Feng Shui to ward off evil spirits. Very potent! May also be used to attract wealth. Take my words with a little caution - I got my information mostly from Wikipedia. =)

Pi Yao, seem to be small statuesque figures mostly sold in pairs, and generally don't contain any writing.
