Re: Mystery Iron Object with silver inlay |
Posted By: idcloisonne Posted Date: Jan 25, 2014 (11:35 AM) |
Message I love a mystery... IMHO this is Chinese, decorated in silver with Buddhist symbols and a t-fret background. The form of the two ends are similar to the Imperial Ruyie Sceptre, a sort of wand about 16 inches long, with a bent foliate head, which represent the sacred fungus. What it is for, have no idea, too heavy for wear, too small for a horse, perhaps a large statue's head ornament??? Post a Response |
