耳耳语语 Posted February 9, 2014 at 11:11 PM Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 at 11:11 PM It looks like a "dragon with open mouth" design. It doesn't look like a chinese seal : http://www.chinaonlinemuseum.com/carving-seals.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted February 10, 2014 at 06:48 AM Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 at 06:48 AM Oh then I must have vision problems. I don't see anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
耳耳语语 Posted February 10, 2014 at 10:43 AM Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 at 10:43 AM Well the mouth of the dragon is a rectangle, it could be the shape of a seal, but you really have to know it was there. It could look like seals like these (but then it's strange that this seal part is erased whereas the rest of the design is not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted February 10, 2014 at 04:58 PM Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 at 04:58 PM I should apologize. I was not in a good mood and it seeped through my writing. There's no reason a dragon's mouth would have 自 (nose) in it. Or anything. There's no seal anywhere. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
耳耳语语 Posted February 11, 2014 at 10:31 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 at 10:31 AM 自could maybe mean "self" in a seal. But i agree it's a bit like face recognition illusion.One could even see characters on the walls of the Chongqing caves. http://image1.redbull.com/rbcom/010/2013-08-06/1331605698898_2/0010/1/1200/800/2/beam-of-light.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
