[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 272279, member: 2844"]Both the terms Gui and Hu seem to be used for either ritual vessels or for flat axe shaped ritual objects. No doubt someone made a mistake somewhere and as we know mistakes lead their own lives on the internet. As far as I know Gui is the flat axe shape, and Hu is the vessel, but I could be wrong. This is neither, so we don't have to untangle the confusion. It looks like an archaic Chinese key amulet. The three dimensional representation on the front makes me think this is not archaic period.[/QUOTE]
