Notes

Beijing 2008, jade seal commemorating 10 years since the Games. This commemorative seal is symbolic in a number of ways. The jade motif is based on the dragon, the cultural symbol of China. The decorative elements are inspired by the Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing, while the emblems of Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016 appear on the sides. Private donation
