🔴 SEAL carved marble Ex Libris oriental essay books vintage library

A rare and fascinating carved marble seal depicting an oriental sage with a staff and traditional robes, a symbol of wisdom and culture. At the base is engraved in red "EX LIBRIS JME" in Western characters. This is a personalized stamp designed to mark books in a private library, applied with red paste or ink to imprint one's own ex libris on the endpapers.

The figurative part and the brocade case are of Chinese manufacture, while the “Ex Libris” engraving is in Latin: a perfect example of a hybrid Sino-Western object, popular among scholars and collectors between the 19th and 20th centuries.
