Posted By: rat Fri, Oct 31, 2014 very cool. I have seen sets of nested metal seals along these lines but unless the larger boxes also include seal legends on the faces that we can't see from your photo, my guess is that this is a set of pieces for some sort of a drinking game. Nested seals date to at least Ming times, not sure whether earlier, though I suspect your object(s) might more likely date from 100 years or so. |
