chinese relics 7-24-08

hitting the ole deadhorse and still coming home with stuff. i've acquired a large collection of chinese relics from here. today i found what i think is an incense or chopstick rest. i also take home almost anything i find there. just realized today, that the small round glass beads are probably from chinese checkers. someday i hope to make a display with all the relics,coins and non metallic items.

    The 2 hole things are obviously coins but does anyone think the buttons could be Mother of Pearl ?

    yep those discs are coins, probably the worst i've dug. i've found around 100 of those buttons. the feel and sound like glass.
