[QUOTE="Couch Potato Wannabe, post: 3664939, member: 14066"]Well, I can see the image is upside down. The top Character is [SIZE=7]足 = Foot[/SIZE] Me telling you that doesn't really tell you that much about what the two characters together would mean. The second character could radically change the translation of the two characters together. Unfortunately, I still cannot make out for sure the character underneath it. Perhaps you might be able to try again with some additional photos and lighting changes. Either that or the stamped character simply may lack the clear distinct edges required for me to read them clearly. All that said, I believe it could be [SIZE=7]足镯[/SIZE] which simply translates as Anklet. In which case, this seems less like a maker mark and more of simply an indication of the intended purpose of the item... which seems a strange thing to do.[/QUOTE]
