No other large jade seal of this colour from the late Ming period appears to be recorded. Compare a large grey jade seal dated to the early part of the Qing Dynasty but surmounted by two dragons, illustrated in jadeware (III), The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Beijing, Hong Kong, 1995, p.3, pl.2.
