Antique Hand-Carved Authentic Shoushan Stone Chinese Chop with Robed Monkey 3182

A robed monkey (a holy monkey monk?!?) sits atop this antique hand-carved Shoushan stone chop or seal.

Slightly primitive, his face and robes are carved with detail as is the chop (seal) itself.  His hands are hidden beneath the robes’ sleeves.  The chop can be used in the traditional manner with ink or used to stamp clay or polymer. 

Measures 3” in height, 1 ½” in width and depth.
