Description
Produced in 1889, this tortoise-knobbed jade seal bearing an inscription of four Chinese characters, Jun-Myeong-Ji-Bo (literally meaning ""Seal of the Profound Brilliance""), was used to seal letters of appointment for officials, including those of the Seja Sigangwon (Education Council for the Crown Prince). Information about the seal, including its production, dimensions, depository and use, are introduced in Boin busin chongsu (Complete Register of Royal Seals and Credentials) and Seungjeongwon ilgi (Diaries of the Royal Secretariat). Due to its historical value as an administrative tool used by King Gojong (r. 1863-1907) in the appointment of officials responsible for the crown prince's education whose date of production is clearly known and its status as a successful example of art repatriation, this seal is regarded as worthy of inscription on the national cultural heritage list.
