A tag for a specific style of watermarks?

Posted under General

I've been looking into Chinese artworks quite a bit recently, and noticed a certain trend - artworks which are covered near-completely in watermarks, a lot of which seem to be more aesthetic than actually for protection from theft. I gathered some in favgroup #30569, but I'm not sure what this tag could be called or if it's even a viable tag concept.

I personally wouldn't mind a tag, given you got a good four pages of that favgroup there, not to mention these watermarks are not only aesthetic, but much more invasive than a regular watermark, for instance.

Just dunno what to call it. I came up with aesthetic watermark, but I think that name has the risk of being misleading.

Stamp_watermark maybe, seeing as many of the watermarks have little images and details/embellishments like a stamp?
