Citation or personal seal

Celadon jade citation or personal seal surmounted by a feline. On the base, the two characters “階平” Jieping “Perfect Peace”.
Allusion is made here to a passage in chapter 65 of the Hanshu 漢書 (History of the Earlier Han) where the expression taijieping 泰階平refers to the harmony that should exist between the three ranks of society after the sovereign: the nobles, the knights and the people. Jieping is another name for taiping 太平, perfect peace, the ideal of good government.
