Can an expert help me with identifying possible age and substance of this box with 11 carved seals? The box is carved in every side but the bottom and is 3-1/2" x 2-3/4" by 2" deep. The seals within have not been carved on the bottom, and in fact a number is written on most of them. The nine small ones all have plant carvings on top. 6 are sort of a light green, three are more reddish. The larger two seals are a gold stone and I can't really tell what the top carving is. I bought this very appealling item over a year ago at an estate sale for dirty cheap and have been trying to research since I know nothing about Asian antiques. Any help would be appreciated!

Definitely cold like stone. Viewed from the side, individual pieces have some dark areas in the rock.
