Zhong Zhuo, the individual for whom the seal was made, probably served as a government official, which is indicated by the character chen that precedes his name on the first seal. Wan Qing, which is inscribed on the second seal, may be a hao, or sobriquet, of Zhong Zhuo.

Compare the small white jade 'double' seal of comparable size (4.6 cm.) comprised of two small square blocks joined by the entwined bodies of the two chilong carved on top, dated Qing dynasty, illustrated in Jade, The Ultimate Treasure of Ancient China, Ontario, Canada, 2000, p. 180, no. 107-11.
