Posted By: Endre Fri, Dec 15, 2017 This is a very nice looking object, thanks for posting this. I am not an expert, and I can’t really give you any concrete answer, but it does look possibly Chinese and old. I believe there are posts on the forum that deal with issues of patina, that you could read up on. I think to date it accurately someone with experience would need to look at it in detail and possibly a cross section. Here is a site you can see an actual archaeological site. You will need to copy and paste to your search browser http://giaoducthoidai.vn/khoa-hoc/tim-thay-co-vat-dong-den-thoi-xuan-thu-chien-quoc-2314941.html |
