五代（907-960）
长6厘米 宽4.8厘米 高2.3厘米   
    长方形，背铸鼻钮，钮顶呈半圆形，片状。体轻且薄，通体褐色，间有绿锈斑。印文为窄边朱文楷书两行六字“元从都押衙记”。“元从”始于唐高祖的“元从禁军”，凡被授予者，皆享有一定的特权。“都押衙”是官名，安史之乱后，藩镇割据，皆擅设衙官，于是衙将、衙官、都押衙等官名日渐繁杂。“元从都押衙”系军帅亲重之官，多见于五代史书。五代时期官印传世极少，此印对研究我国五代时期有关史实是不可多得的历史物证。
Record of the Yuancong Duyaya
Five Dynasties(907-60)
Bronze seal
Height 2.3cm, Length 6cm, Width 4.8cm

This flat rectangular seal has a pierced knob cast on its reverse side, with a semi-circle protruding from the top of the knob. Its body is thin and flat. The whole piece is brown in colour, with occasional green blemishes. The face features six characters in two columns, written in thin relief-carved clerical script. They read “Record of the Yuancong Duyaya”. The title Yuancong derives from the title of the Tang dynasty Imperial Guard: Yuancong Jinjun. The conferring of this title carried a set of special privileges. Duyaya is an official position. The Yuancong Duyaya was a senior official position that supported a military commander, often seen in the historical records of the Five Dynasties. Very few official seals survive from the Five Dynasties period, making this a unique piece of historical evidence for research into the bureaucracy of this period of China’s history.
