In the mid and late Ming dynasty, seal carving began to prevail among literati. Wen Peng mainly carved seals with Qingtian Stone, and was hailed as the founder of the seal cutting genre. He also carved some stone and ivory seals, but few have survived. This ‘Deep in the 72 Peaks’ ivory seal was said to be unearthed during the period of Anti-Japanese War, with the cursive script of ‘Wen Peng’ seen on the left side.
