Featured Red & Blue Turquoise Inlay on Tibetan Seal - Common?

I haggled for this antique Tibetan seal from a wizened trader in the Barkhor Square in Lhasa, Tibet in the early 1990s. I've been looking everywhere (eBay, Etsy, Worthpoint, Google Images) but can't find another example of any turquoise inlay. I've found seals with an enormous lump of blue turquoise at the top of the seal, but no inlays.

Has anyone seen anything similar? And does the 4 pointed red star mean anything (Chinese stars typically have 5 points)?

It's 6 inches high, 2 inches at the base and weighs 8 oz.

 

Even after adjusting the image don't understand what I see here.

 

Doesn't strike me as antique at all, is cool though

 

I was hoping you'd be able to decipher the seal!

 

Perhaps vintage? I've just researched that 'antique' is at least 100 years old while 'vintage' is 50 years. The inlays may help determine its age.

 

@Roaring20s - Via Google Images I found some similar-looking wax seal imprints that have been added to the rear of Tibetan armored plates: https://www.mandarinmansion.com/item/three-tibetan-armor-mirrors

 

@Roaring20s - while these are not a match, it's surprising what you can find out there: https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/...enty-six-silver-seals-one-metal-seal-44/96115

 

Agreed. Cool and pretty looking. To me the seal/stamp plate part looks older than the rest of it..

 

I found the longest, scrolling web page of hundreds of seal imprints. I might have to do a doctoral thesis on Tibetan seals in my next (reincarnated) life: https://www.behance.net/gallery/418...tracking_source=search_projects|Tibetan seals

 

Alas, it looks like I've fallen down the rabbit hole. Not sure, even if I find a matching seal imprint, that it will identify my item in question. Another deep dive link: https://www.behance.net/gallery/41860621/CHINESE-AND-TIBETAN-SEALS-1

 

I've down those rabbit holes on my own stuff and it is both interesting and frustrating. This is an unknown area for me.

 

Looks like you will be a Tibetan seal expert before you know it! I know nothing about these, but it does appear that yours is quite worn compared to the others shown in this thread.
