拍品描述

A Chinese Tibetan astrological amulet L. 7 cm. W. 7 cm. Weight 70 grams. A Chinese Tibetan astrological amulet, measuring 7cm long, 7cm wide, weighing 70 grams. Crafted in silver‑toned metal, this circular protective plaque bears deeply relief‑carved Nine‑Palace cosmology surrounded by zodiac figures and symbolic Tibetan motifs. A carved bird perches atop, with four decorative protruding ornaments set around the rim. The metal surface carries a mellow aged patina. Fine detailing covers the whole face, with minor surface wear and abrasions consistent with devotional handling and long‑term preservation.
