A three-body set of gods who deified the three stars of Fu (symbolizes a person who can bring happiness and hope to everyone)　Lu （a star official in charge of fame and fortune) Shou (the star god of longevity)

This item was shown to specialists, but no one knows what it is. The assumption was that it was an ingot. That's how they stored silver. They say that on Kangxi coins there were such hieroglyphs and a motto. The size is only 2 by 1 cm. No one has any idea what period it belongs to. But it is 100% antique. Some kind of mystery.

There was an assumption that these were private bars for payments and exchange. But maybe not private...
So far, only questions, no answers..
