Should be a seal and not meant to be used as a stamp which is why the stamped words are a mirror reflection of the actual words.

I thought seals and stamps are carved/made in mirror reflection of the actual words? Cos when you stamp it down it still has to be upright, I maybe wrong?

[adamteo]

Thanks!!! Yes. it is a seal...will try to take some pics....hope this is worth something? Otherwise, it is quite a nice paper weight...haha

[Darkangel]

Do share some pics

Ya most chinese seals serves as a stamp but some are just for authoritative purpose.

This particular one is unlikely to be an antique and definitely not one used by 汉高祖 himself, as 汉高祖 is a name given to 刘邦 only after he died.

From google - 汉武帝时代的史学家始称刘邦为“汉高祖”，后世才沿用这一称呼，莫非刘邦当年有先见之名而刻印“汉高祖”？ ？

低仿古??? like AAA grade Rolex?

[adamteo]

hahahaha....maybe he know he will be king already...so make first...

[adamteo]

Here are the pics as promised.
