Description
My wife bought this for me, she doesn't remember where or for how much.
I think it's a chop of some kind, although if that's the case, the seal itself is missing from the bottom. It's made out of some kind of stone. It's dirty and faded, but the colors are mainly green, some white, and a bit of smooth jet black on the more prominent parts.
There are two sets of Chinese characters, two on one side and four on the other.
Sorry about the quality of the pics -- our digital camera just went out on us today. If anyone thinks it's worthwhile to take better pictures, please let me know and I'll do what I can.
Thanks!
