This very rare item dates to the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) or possibly as early as the Song or Yuan dynasty. It is a cast iron feng shui, or geomancy, disc. On the upper surface there are Chinese characters and the eight trigrams of the I Ching within circular bands. In the centre are raised dots, presumably relating to geomancy. We do not know if this item was a tool that was regularly used or if it were perhaps placed in the foundations of a building.
Diameter 17 cm (6.75 inches). Surface corrosion, no repairs or restoration.
Note: this has been in our private collection since 2002.
