- Description:
The main part of this powder incense stick is a shallow plate, with a white horse standing in the center of the plate. It is decorated with eight Taoist ancient coins, double coins, silver ingots, single coins, rhinoceros horn, Fangsheng, gold ingots and coral around it. Although it is the Eight Treasures of Taoism, the eight objects are quite different from the Eight Treasures of Taoism in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. For example, copper coins appeared three times, with different shapes, single coins and double coins. Another example is that silver ingots and gold ingots appear at the same time. In addition to expensive coral and rhinoceros horn, the whole incense stick is full of wealth and joy. The horse’s back was decorated with a treasure box. The ancient coins have the words “peace under heaven”. The plate is painted with yellow glaze inside and outside, and the plate edge is decorated with white ground and blue material. The exposed tire at the bottom edge of the circle foot is painted with light brown fetal protection juice, and the bottom of the device has an iron red seal character made in the year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
