Warring States Golden Tiger Rune
The Warring States Golden Tiger Rune is 4.8 cm long and 2.3 cm high. It was excavated in 1979 in Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province, which was originally under the jurisdiction of the pre-Qin Dynasty. There is no inscription on the golden tiger, and from the perspective of styling characteristics, it belongs to the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period (475 BC ~ 221 BC), so it is inferred that this symbol is an early shape.
The Warring States Golden Tiger Charm is made of gold and is in the shape of a Crouching Tiger. Giant eyes and large ears, tooth decay, four legs curved lying down, long tail upturned, the whole body ornament is convex carving and yin carving, the back of the device has a buckle groove, small body shape, but exquisitely made, vivid carving, majestic shape, reaching a high artistic level, it seems to be the work of imitation tiger charm.
