CHINA. "Bagongbao Like." Silver Eight-Votive-Treasures Presentation (Buddhist Offering Tael) Ingot, ND (ca. early 18th century). EXTREMEY FINE.
cf. BMC-1282-3 (Class XCI, Group A). Double golden fish shape. A nicely detailed ingot with fine scales visible on the fish and sporting an even, dark gray tone throughout. Compare to a similar example, though not nearly as attractive, that realized a hammer of $4,000 in our August 2012 Hong Kong auction.
Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00
