清 田黃瑞獸鈕印章
田黃石因質佳色濃、稀少難得而被尊稱爲“石中之王”、“石帝”，早有“一兩田黃十兩金”之說，身價無與倫比。明、清各朝均將其作爲貢品獻入皇宮，雕刻成禦用玺印及藝術擺件。
這件獸鈕章品色澤濃郁俏麗，質地溫潤凝膩，頂端立一瑞獸作鈕，長臉長髯，毛髮豐密，頭頂長角朝向後方，四足踡曲伏於地面，雖是傳說中的神獸，卻被刻畫得頗具寫實感，栩栩如生。章面呈長方形，鐫“篤慎”，取“厚重、謹慎”之意。印章一側刻款“壬辰仲夏月於陔南吟屋口葛書徵”，另一側則是於章面相同的“篤”“慎”二字。
葛書徵即葛昌楹，為近代著名的金石家、收藏家，他精於鑒賞，好藏印，一生一“集藏金石，輯梓印譜”為情志，為保存金石研究印學不遺餘力，在印學史上也有著相當重要的地位。
