    Asian art metal ingot tablet measuring 10cm x 5cm x .30cm has exciting scene engraved on front. Eight men look in awe on high to a spirit in the sky. What is this? Is it Japanese or Chinese? Can someone translate the name / title on front and the impression on back? There is a small hole at the top suggesting it is meant to hang from something. Is it silver currency?
    Your interest and reply will be very much appreciated, thank you.
