Chinese stamps

8 stamps in black cased box, parly covered with cloth (31 x 23 cm.) with ties and 2 locks. Box with gaps for the stamps; the latter protected by piece of cloth on top of box. The stamps with on one side Chinese scenes (roofs, gardens, human activities in and around the house) and verso character writing with various texts. The stamps possibly used to sign drawings. Paper sticker on box lid with text and red stamp.

Curious.
