Description
Seal script calligraphy of 'Longevity Without Limit' (長生無極) is paired with a rubbing of a Han dynasty eave tile bearing the same phrase, discovered on the northern slope of Mount Hua near the ruins of ancient Huayin city. The rounded, flowing seal characters reflect Qin-Han era aesthetics. An appended verse wishes for 'peaceful times and bountiful years, with endless life and prosperity,' extending the tile's ancient message of longevity into a timeless benediction.
