"A Ming Dynasty bronze fixture, possibly a base from a larger object. The underside with incised script. We have had a Chinese Scholar translate the script and found it to be poems from two artists; one Sung and one Tang. The poems are 7 words by four verses. Translated they read: ???????, ???????, ???????, ???????? By helping more people will lead to having a busy and bigger house/court. By teaching the younger people general knowledge, one would gain the insight into how difficult the farmers cultivate our produce. The HuangShanKue (???) poetry does not have any ordinary or weak verses. The LiYangBin's (???) writing has impressive ancient characteristic. LiYangBin is an artist/scholar in the Tang Dynasty (about 759 AD). The other poem originates from a book called ""HuangShanKue Poetry and Commentary"" ( ????? ) written by a Northern Sung artist HuangTingKin (???). An interesting study piece. Origin: Ming Dynasty, Circa 1368 to 1644 A.D., china Dimensions: Diameter: 22.3 cm / Height: 2 cm Condition: Verdigris patina consistent with age, the areas of script have been cleaned. In good condition."
