About this work
A large quantity of bronze seals were excavated from tombs of the Goryeo dynasty. This bronze seal appears to have been designed for stamping the sealed envelopes of letters. However, the remains of red cinnabar seal paste is not very visible; it may not have been used much before it was buried in the tomb.
