Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 08/22/2015 1:12 pm It is a chinese Lucky charm with on one side the trigram http://users.skynet.be/lotus/trigram/trig0-en.htm Perhaps it is on this site: http://primaltrek.com/charmarticles.html Report this Post to the Staff
manymore Valued Member United States 347 Posts	Posted 08/22/2015 2:43 pm The inscription reads tai sui xing jun. There are 60 years in the Chinese lunar year cycle and there is a "star god" or "star ruler", known as the tai sui xing jun, for each of the years. For those who read Chinese, a more complete explanation can be found here. Incidentally, this particular charm does not seem to be well executed. The trigrams located at the 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock positions are the same (broken line at top with two unbroken lines below). This duplication means that the trigram composed of three straight (unbroken) lines is missing. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
