A CHINESE SILVER SYCEE INGOT

拍品描述

Measuring 12 cm in length, 7 cm in width and 9 cm in height with a substantial weight of 1900 grams, this classic boat-shaped sycee showcases the iconic curved upturned rims characteristic of traditional Chinese silver bullion. Its exterior carries naturally developed mottled patination from prolonged ageing, while the basal section displays distinctive porous honeycomb textures formed during the ancient casting procedure. Subtle faint markings remain discernible across the flattened interior surface. Retaining its robust original form and authentic casting features, this hefty silver ingot serves as a significant historical numismatic treasure ideal for distinguished collections of antique Chinese monetary silverware.
