Chinese Chops

This one is octagonal and about 5 inches tall. The top is a dragon holding the earth and the bottom says "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night". Well, it has a yin-yang thing on the bottom (surrounded with other sayings).

This is about 4 inches wide. The carvings on the top are the 12 animals of the Chinese year. The bottom is actually two stamps. "Good luck: may the wind hang heavy when the figs bloom" and "Many blessings to your gardeners toes." (They told me but I forgot)

This is the bottom of the Tall one. And therefore inherently superior and of greater worth.

This is the bottom of the short wide one. A decidedly inferior design of a decaying culture.
