April 8, 2025Golden seal from Korean kingdom sells for US$1.39 million in Hong Kong auction
A golden seal, believed to date back to Korea’s ancient Goguryeo kingdom (37 BC-AD668), fetched an astounding HK$10.8 million (US$1.39 million) at a major Hong Kong auction. This amount surpassed its presale estimate by more than nine times, setting a record for the price of ancient seals.
The golden seal with a horse-shaped knob was auctioned at China Guardian’s Hong Kong 2025 spring sale, titled Important Private Asian Collection of Ancient Seals and Bronzes, on April 6. Initially, its estimated price ranged between US$153,800 and US$282,100, yet it ultimately garnered a much higher final bid. The relic, standing 2.8cm tall and weighing just 88 grams, bears a Chinese inscription that reads, “Marquis of Guiyi of Goguryeo, conferred by the Jin dynasty.
