Ancient China – Liao Dynasty ( AD 916-1125 ) token of blazed clay, depicting a Buddhist figure.

The condition is pretty good with many small details in the inner part. The outer border has a small fault at the upper right side – maybe part of the burning process.

It comes from a Buddhist grotto in the North Western part of China.
