QING DYNASTY STONE CHOPS - This lot features a collection of three (3) Qing Dynasty stone chops. Qing Dynasty stone chops, also known as seals or chops, were small, carved stones used in China as a signature or official mark, particularly during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). These chops were made from various materials like stone, bronze, and even ivory, but stone, especially Shoushan stone, was a popular choice for its carving qualities and durability. The chops were used to authenticate documents, artwork, and other important items.
