[QUOTE="Marshall Muzili, post: 2405664, member: 78292"]There are various money trees dated to Han dynasty but I believe the San Xing Dui ones did not. Perhaps I linked the wrong pictures? The circular coin form is thought to symbolize the sun, in the same way the birds on the Shang Dynasty bronze trees, linking the two types of objects together. The San Xing Dui site was abandoned towards the beginning of warring states. The earlier bronze trees at San Xing Dui were from Shang Dynasty and predated the "later" artifacts there by almost 1,000 years. Doesn't that make the later ones there still nearly a millennium before East Han Dynasty?[/QUOTE]
