"description": "A large quantity of bronze seals were excavated from tombs of the Goryeo dynasty. This bronze seal appears to have been used for stamping the sealed envelopes of letters. The lion-shaped ornament serves as the handle of the seal. While it is much corroded, the face and tail of the seated lion gazing upward are delicately expressed. Beneath the face of the lion is a hole through which a string can be threaded.",
