Bronze Tiger Talisman of Marquis Lin Yuan

[Bronze Tiger Fu of the Marquis of Linyuan]

The bronze tiger Fu of the Marquis of Linyuan is 8 cm high and 2.7 cm wide in the early Western Han Dynasty
The rune is in the shape of a crouching tiger, with its head raised and its tail rolled up. This is the left half of the symbol with a square groove on the side. On the back of the tiger, there are nine words in the official script of the wrong silver: “The second is the Hu Fu with the Linyuan marquis.”
The Hu Fu is the certificate for the mobilization of the army. The left hand is granted to the Linyuan marquis who unifies the army, and the right hand is in the hands of the emperor. When it is necessary to mobilize the army, the envoy is sent to the Linyuan marquis’s station with the right half of the Hu Fu, and the two halves of the Hu Fu are matched correctly before sending the troops.
