The Empress' Jade Seal (Tang Dynasty)

The Empress

Unearthed in 1968 at Liangjiagou, Xianyang, Shaanxi Province. This seal was made of He Tian jade from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. With a monster-shaped protrusion as a knob, the seal was inscribed with 4 characters “Huang Hou Zhi Xi” which means it is an empress' seal. It was unearthed just 1 km from Changling, the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu (named Liu Bang) and his wife (named Li Zhi). Therefore, it may have been used by Empress Li Zhi. The jade seal is one of the most important seals which have ever been found.
