Posted By: Peace Tue, Jan 29, 2019 Hi I believe these are Chinese. The left one says 馬 meaning "horse" and the right one says 狗 meaning "dog".

Posted By: mikeoz Wed, Jan 30, 2019 The seal on the left does mean "fortune', but the seal on the right does not read 萬利 but 基利, which does not also mean fortune, but is more likely to be a phonetic rendering of a non-Chinese name - the sound Kili and is perhaps an attempt at a name like Kiri or Kelly. It can be very difficult to create all the sounds of Western names in Chinese.
