CHINA. Hollow Handle Square Shoulder Spade Money, Spring-Autumn Period (ca. 650-400 B.C.). VERY FINE.
H-2.4; Jen-8. "Wu" character variety. Nearly full handle and essentially as made. Displays an incomparable patina of mint green contrasted nicely against areas of camel hair color deposits which are evenly laid out in a thin veneer across the surface. Without significant injury or corrosion; a single tiny perforation near the bottom mentioned for accuracy. VERY FINE.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00
