[QUOTE="Couch Potato Wannabe, post: 2239587, member: 14066"]To be honest I am not 100% sure of these translated characters. The first one is a bit varied to what I am familiar with, this is, therefore, the closest I can see, without actually holding the piece to examine in person. I'm fairly sure the second and fourth characters are correct though. I wanted to show the seal script versus the modern-day evolution of the character, sadly couldn't find a good seal script version to show here to represent the first top right character) These kinds of seals are read Top to Bottom, starting from the Right column to Left column.
