Hello group can anybody help me to translate this seal i also don't know the material i think some kind of stone i looked everywere on the net but cannot find it is about also not about what dynasty

I have a spotty record with seal writing, but the four-character square seal in the last image seems to read 'Guang Xu Nian Yin' (Seal of the Guangxu Reign) when rotated 90 degrees left and flipped to a mirror image position.

Best regards,

Bill H.

this is a very recent creation that according to the legend on the base attempts to be a Guangxu-era (late Qing) seal. not sure about the writing on the side.

I suggest this is a modern tourist market piece. The bottom surface contains the characters for GuangXu Jade seal, suggesting that it is an imperial seal for the GuangXu Emperor (1875-1908). 200% certain it isn't real.

The two characters in the cartouche on the top of the side read DaQing - (the great Qing dynasty). But the photo is unclear, and I cannot read the other characters.

The stone is most probably ordinary seal stone (pyrophillite), not jade.

thanks everybody fore the respons i've posted three more pictures again two from the writing on each side and one from the top and mike hopefully the are clearly now to translate and something happened i always found it was maybee dirty i just cleaned a little time with only water and a other colour came out from the writing and the edges and also when i look good it seems like the writing in the oval and the last one on the bottem is a little bit higher then the other 3 writhing in between on botht sides i stopped cleaning and make these pictures too show you picture 3 is the side i lttle bit cleaned

Also. it looks to have been etched with a laser, not hand carved.
