Lin Han-Wei Art White Porcelain Seal - Personal Seal - Black Tiger Lord with Gemstone Inlay and Gold Embellishment

Tigers symbolize authority and auspiciousness. There's a popular saying, "Worship the Golden Tiger God, and you'll be truly prosperous." 🤭🤭 Ancient China revered tigers, which later became part of folk beliefs. It's said, "The Earth God governs the tigers of the mountains." Ancient people believed that tigers, subdued by mountain gods, local deities, or City Gods, possessed divine power. They wouldn't harm humans or livestock but would protect people. Thus, tigers were often respectfully called Tiger Lords and devoutly worshipped. In Taiwanese folk belief, the Tiger Lord serves as the mount for deities such as Baosheng Dadi, City God, and Earth God, often appearing beneath the main altar as a supporting deity. Local legends have given rise to various titles like "Heavenly General Tiger," "Marshal of the Lower Altar," and "Black Tiger General." People believe the Tiger Lord can ward off evil, protect children and household animals, and "the Tiger Lord bites money in" to bring financial prosperity. The Tiger Lord's generals are the Five Tiger Generals, who command the five camps, representing the five directions and elements. The auspicious Western Tiger, associated with metal, is particularly effective for good fortune. The Northern Luck Tiger, associated with water, excels at protecting those with insufficient luck, specializing in stabilizing and boosting fortune. ❤️ The Black Tiger Lord symbolizes "gathering righteous luck," leading to a rise in academic, career, or business prospects, making one's fortune as brilliant as the midday sun. Our porcelain seals, adorned with natural gemstones, offer a delicate and warm touch. The creation of these seals integrates unique craftsmanship in painting, seal carving, sculpture, underglaze color, gold inlay, and gemstone setting. Beyond their practical function, they possess artistic value for collection! Features of Lin Han-Wei's White Porcelain Seals: I. A pioneering integration of gold inlay and natural gemstone embellishments. Some gemstones are fired at high temperatures alongside the porcelain, creating a seamless, integrated piece—a first in Taiwan. II. Drawing from Lin Han-Wei's experience at the FaLencer headquarters and its Jingdezhen factory, these white porcelain seals combine underglaze colors and gold inlay (fired gold). The gold inlay uses German Heraeus gold ink, hand-painted and fired at 800°C (containing 12% pure gold), adding color and dimension to the seal itself, achieving a modern seal carving style. III. Fired at a high temperature of 1230°C, these porcelain seals possess exceptional hardness and wear resistance. Once fired, they are eternally resistant to wear, significantly more durable than other stone materials. The underglaze colors are fired permanently, ensuring they never fade, with a glaze as smooth as jade, exquisitely bright, and pure. IV. The designs of the porcelain seals are not limited by traditional seal knob forms. The overall shape is integrated, with modern and diverse styles. These exquisite and delicate seals are favored by various groups and can be customized for personal seals, name seals, company seals, collectible seals, leisure seals, couple's seals, wedding seals, and image seals, making them perfect as personalized gifts. V. Each porcelain seal is entirely handmade, from the initial clay molding, refinement of the body, cleaning, air-drying, seal carving, gemstone setting, biscuit firing, underglaze coloring, high-temperature glaze firing, to the final gold inlay firing. Each seal undergoes at least 3-4 firings, with each firing requiring a minimum of 10 hours in the kiln, followed by cooling. The production process for each seal is complex and labor-intensive, taking approximately three to four weeks. VI. Because the porcelain seal's form is integrated, any breakage of a stroke during carving necessitates starting the entire piece over. This high difficulty and risk make each porcelain seal exceptionally precious. Precautions: 1. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the seller via email. 2.
