傅斯坦印 = fusitan seal ?

Is your surname Fu (or something similar)?

Is your given name Stan (sitan)?

[stan]

Well then. It's just a transliteration of your name.

People use such seals in correspondence and paperwork next to their signature.

If you want to attach more photos: first browse and select the file,

then don't forget to click the "attach file" button.

If you don't press the button, the file won't be uploaded.

Anyway most probably the chop itself says the same as the paper in your original post - the paper was probably used to check that the bottom was correctly engraved.

The important point here is that you now have a Chinese name, 傅斯坦, which you should romanize as Fu Sitan. Your Chinese friends will probably just call you 老傅 Lao Fu.
