A Dance with Dragons

To celebrate the Chinese Year of the Dragon I have pulled out the ancient 'chop' (seal) which was given to Gormenghast, as a sign of friendship, when the castle was twinned with the Tung Shing restaurant down the road.



I haven't had to use it, for awhile; either to act as guarantor on my Mah Jong debts or the escalating takeaway bills. 


It remains a happy relic of past Steerpike travels.
I never did find out what the inscriptions mean. Probably "death to the cube smelling foreigner".
