Rare and fascinating carved marble seal, depicting an oriental essay with a traditional stick and garment, a symbol of wisdom and culture. At the base it is engraved in red "Ex libris jme", in western characters: it is a personalized stamp destined to mark the books of a private library, applying it with red paste or ink to give your ex libris on the guard pages.
The figurative part and brocade custody are of Chinese manufacture, while the "Ex libris" engraving is in Latin: a perfect example of a syn-western hybrid object, widespread among scholars and collectors between the 19th and 20th century.
