hi ron, this is Chinese, an image of the various objects (statues of warriors, chariots, and horses) found at the tomb of the Qin emperor of China outside Xian, the first to unify various warring states into a single entity. i think it's meant to look like a rubbing, that is, a reproduction made by patting an ink-soaked wad of material against a paper that has been wet and worked into the crevices of a stone carving. in fact i think there is no such object that this is copied from but that this is simply created to look otherwise and sold to the tourist market.
