This my favourite pair of Family Seals we have...the more official ones are in the safe. These were my Great Grandfathers and we still use these too...I love the stone they are carved from...

You and your family have a great history and tradition! Be sure to pass it to your beautiful daughters!
WOW These are truly magnificent.I love the history.
ATTWOOD, thank you...we actually have another set in cast iron that is even older...thanks for the loving...
Moonstone these are amazing!!
Sarah, LMAO even my mother does not know I took these pics of them!!! Including the Jade horses!!! I don't think she would have minded...but. The special black cast iron lion seals are taboo!
czechman, these are for private family documents only good or legal in Japan. They are like the family emblem or like the Nobility used on wax seals for seding letters or personal documents. This is what is on rice paper for signing your family crest...also used on paintings for artists...like

I believe one of the seals were used on this portrait of my Great Grandmother....
I thought that maybe the case--taboo to see the seal-Oh well that just makes them extra special.Thanks for sharing
Cheers Rose
Do you think they maybe Jasper?
ATTWOOD, good idea...never really looked at them.
Manikin, XOXOXO
you are really a great collector moonstone! A little of everything!
BHock45, thanks but this is not mine..still in the family( I.E. Mothers)
trunkman, XOXOXO
I seen a show on this style before sometime ago about the only thing I really remember is that the style is very precious I wish I could remember more. Great to have in the family. You really are lucky to have strong guiding hands around you. In my family I'm the only person who has ever showed a interest the others are only interested in what they can get for something, not the love.
Zowie, I am the youngest of 4 and I am the only one who is a collector...When my father passed they took everything...and I got his tuxedo ...
Chi-Treasures, thank you!

SEAN68, thanks for the link. But these are way older. I know where these came from and which family member had them. Xoxoxo. Thanks for trying
Sorry to hear that Leah, it happens way to often in my eye but family's can suck. As they say you can pick your friends family you can be stuck with. Notice the term can. I also hope you were like me & had the best his love that cannot be replaced.
