Posted By: Oliver Tue, Feb 07, 2012 IP: 88.151.146.70

Hi, can anybody say, what are that for two stamps? What does it mean, and what stand there please?
I also have a pic of the "painting", one can see two figures, strange figures.
Ok, thanks a lot.

please post the picture of the painting, it is always good to see what the seals are attached to because it helps narrow the possibilities down. The first seal is an artist's nickname, the second seems to be just a seal with a favorite epithet of the artist's, but I'm not sure of all the characters, so can't identify the artist.

Hi dear Rat, wow, so fast your answer, I don`t thought, that it goes so fast, because I saw at the other listings, that not all questions be answered.
But I thanks a lot you, its very kind from you ;). But if you say, its the artist's nickname, then you for sure also could say what does it mean in english, or? Can you say this to me, that I can further research? Would be very kind. And yes, here also the picture. It looks strange to me. And it was found in a very old chinese book, we thought very rare. And therefore the condition looks that way it is. Ok, thank you again very much. I am happy that fou help me ;).

sorry, just saw this. looks quite interesting, but I'm 100% sure what it is. It seems to be the character for prosperity, good fortune, etc, "fu" in Chinese, "fuku" in Japanese. will look at the seals again. Do you know what the title of the book was that you found it in?
