Tibetan Silver Chop Signature Seal

This is a Tibetan seal or stamp, typically made of a silver alloy and a resin or horn handle. The handle is often made of materials like copal resin or horn, giving it an amber appearance. The silver portion features intricate embossed designs, often depicting traditional Tibetan cultural motifs like phoenix patterns. Seals like this were historically used as a substitute for signatures in documents due to low literacy rates in the region. They can be valuable collectibles, reflecting the social rank of their original owner.
