The display features information about seals and rubbings. It explains that seals have a long history in China, becoming widespread from the Warring States period to the Qin and Han dynasties. They were primarily used on letters, documents, and the sealing clay of valuable items. The text notes that after the use of paper, applying colored ink seals allowed for the rapid duplication of text. Besides copying books by hand, paper was used extensively in rubbing techniques. Seals and rubbings are considered forerunners to the invention of printing. A framed example of a seal impression is visible.
