Song Dynasty. Chun Hua gold Cash Ingot ND (AD 990-94) AU, 11.46g. A fascinating early ingot of the Song Dynasty, sand-cast and then hand engraved with Buddha and a second unknown figure (a devotee?). The title characters are soft and lightly granular, as would be expected from the production method, but the carved figures remain sharp and the overall piece exhibits attractive reddish tone over lightly shimmering surfaces. A highly appealing specimen and quite rare.Ex. Ginza Auction Year 25 (November 23, 2013), Lot 881.
Estimate: 20000-30000 USD
