We've been finding some fascinating artifacts while digging in some very deep clay to install a new drainage system around our house. Yesterday's finds include this etched metal medallion. Can anyone help us figure out what it is?
For background, the house is 80 years old and was built on the site of a Union army bivouac. It's got some cool US history.
@DrTCombs My wife says the front is the well-known bagua of Taoism. The back names the centre of Taoism, Wudang Mountain. The characters on the left are the name of a section there. The centre row of characters aren’t legible to her.
@DrTCombs It’s an ornament to hang in your house to keep out ghosts and anything bad. It’s good for the feng shui
