[QUOTE="Couch Potato Wannabe, post: 2217652, member: 14066"]The round mark is in ancient Chinese Seal Script. These are literal direct translations of the characters only into modern day characters... 古 = ancient/old 而 = (conjunction) and, while, but, yet, as well as 子 = (noun) child, son, seed, first earthly branch, small thing 希 = (verb) hope, (adjectives) rare, infrequent "Gu Xi Tian Zi" Translated into a phrase means "A son of heaven like no other" or "A son of heaven as rarely seen since antiquity" I can't really see the large rectangular mark nor the square mark clearly enough to make out all the characters there. I see a couple, though am taking them out of context here. Maybe on the large rectangle these.... 二 = two 堂 = Hall But it might help to have an even closer, sharper photo of these taken.[/QUOTE]
