An imperial seal of Qing dynasty Emperor Kangxi has been sold for HK$92 million at an auction in Hong Kong on April 6, 2016. At a Sotheby’s sale at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Seal of the Mandate of Heaven was snapped up after just a few minutes of fierce bidding. The seal was an important object of authority for Emperor Kangxi, who ruled over China from 1661 to 1722. Made of sandalwood, it bears the inscription “revere heaven and serve thy people”. Bidding started at HK$15 million. The final fee, including buyer’s premium, was HK$92.6 million. (Photo: China News Service/ Tan Daming)
