For paintings, usually the artist will put the stamp, and (traditionally) each owner will put their families stamp on it. They are just old style characters, nothing special really. | ||

Think of it like a signature basically. I can't read ancient Chinese scripture, but I'm pretty sure it's just a guy's name. Koreans and Japanese use similar markings. | ||

ARS needs to have a "your shit is fake" episode, then just watch the responses. If it's anything like the people in China when they're told their stuff is fake, hilarity will ensue. | ||
