Royal seal- actual seal with the matter in the background

Another of the royal seals showcased in one of the complex buildings in the Imperial citadel. Here, again in true dSLR fashion, I have concentrated on the seal itself, which is rendered sharp, while the notes about it have been rendered blurred in the background due to bokeh. The result of this is, I was unfortunately unable to read the notes in the background. But thanks to feedback received from one kind viewer Hoang Hai (see below) the seal is called Bải Đại Thần Hăn and belongs to Bảo Đại, the last emperor. Once again, this seal is cast in gold, and it's impression is the red stamp in the background. (Hue, Central Vietnam, Nov. 2016)
