China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

[26 Face Seal]

At Xi'an

This object is interesting. It is a 26 face seal. It is the equivalent of the modern rubber stamp except it has 26 different "stamps".

This seal was owned by the famous minister of the Western Wei Dynasty (535-556), Dugu Xin. The multi-functions of the seal suggest the importance and powerful status of the owner.
