Sadly, if you pay the seal stamper enough, you can get an official Nepalese seal without official approval. That is how important heritage and items with deep spiritual significance are lost to the Nepalese people.</p><p>But that was never the case here. Since this is not a Nepalese antique, not antique by any means, and not even Nepalese or Indian style, I think the stamp was added to fool buyers in the West.</p><p>&#039;Official&#039; Asian seals have as much value nowadays as &#039;official&#039; Asian certificates. And genuine seals are also issued for &#039;replicas&#039; because they have no cultural value to the country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
