Antique Chinese Solid Bronze Trade Seal Shun He Tang Medicinals Distributor Chop

This is a solid-bronze Chinese trade seal (chop) used by a medicinal/herbal business. The seal face appears to read a shop/hall name (commonly transcribed as “順和堂 / Shun He Tang”) and lines indicating commercial function — roughly “各省生熟藥材發行” (distribution/issuance of raw & processed medicinal herbs to provinces). Such wording and format match known examples of shop or trade seals used by Chinese herbal wholesalers and distributors.

Shown in photos — produces a clear red paste impression with scroll motif and the business legend.
