Description
China, Qing Dynasty, brass Daoist Curse charm, 55mm, 67.14g (CCH 1776). Very Fine. Quite heavy for the type. Sold as seen, no returns.
Lei Ling, Daoist curse charm, bears inscriptions which translate to approximately "God of Thunder (Lei) clear out and kill the ghosts and send down purity / Behead the demons / Expel the evil and keep us eternally safe / Let this command from Lao Zi be executed quickly". The large characters at the right and left sides of the obverse are not Chinese, but rather Daoist magic writing referring to the God of Thunder.
