King of Na gold seal, National Treasure gold seal at Fukuoka Art Museum, Japan
The King of Na seal features a snake-shaped handle and measures 2.347 centimeters on each side with Chinese characters engraved in intaglio format.
In 57 CE, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty presented this seal to the king of Na kingdom as recognition of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.
The seal composition integrates gold, silver, and copper, demonstrating the advanced metallurgical techniques and diplomatic protocols of ancient East Asian civilizations.
Located in the permanent exhibition of Fukuoka Art Museum, the seal remains accessible to visitors throughout the year with regular preservation maintenance.
A farmer discovered this ancient artifact in 1784 while repairing an irrigation channel on Shikanoshima Island in Fukuoka Prefecture.
