田黄石瑞兽钮三连章

拍品描述

英文名称：Tianhuang Stone Three Linked Seals with Mythical Beast Knob 英文描述：This set of three linked seals is carved integrally from one piece of tianhuang stone, consisting of one main seal and two subsidiary seals connected by freely moving carved chains, representing extremely sophisticated craftsmanship. The main seal features a substantial square base topped with a mythical beast knob, vividly rendered with fine details of fur and musculature. The two flanking smaller seals are neatly formed, with inscriptions incised on the sides and finely carved red seal characters on the seal faces in forceful, classical cutting style. The stone is creamy and mellow with rich honey-yellow tone, subtle radish veins and aged patina. Linked-chain seals are among the most technically demanding works of Shoushan stone carving, made from a single block without joints. Surviving examples are scarce, making this an important scholar’s seal treasure of great collectible value. 此套三连章以田黄石一体镂雕而成，一主二辅，由活链相连，工艺难度极高。主印方台厚重，印钮雕瑞兽，神态雄健，毛发肌理刻画细腻传神。两侧小印形制规整，印侧阴刻款识，印面精篆朱文，刀法古拙苍劲。石质温润凝腻，色泽呈浓润蜜黄，萝卜纹隐现，包浆醇厚。三连链章为寿山石雕刻中极难的技法，一料整雕不可接续，存世罕少，属文房玺印类重器，极具收藏价值。
