<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7393925, member: 97383"]The creatures depicted on your charm are <i>Shang Dynasty Dragons,</i> that were used throughout history as decorative motifs on jade & ritual bronzes. Original Shang Dynasty art objects are over 3,000 years old, however, your charm is not ancient but it might have a little age. Your charm is known as a <i>Bi Disc</i>, one of the oldest Chinese talismans usually made from jade. The photo below is a jade talisman from the Ming Dynasty that I sold at auction, & it also has Shang style dragons decorating it to form a <i>Yang-Yin </i>design like your bronze charm <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1286513[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
