| Reverse description | At the centre of the deeply mirrored field stands a detailed representation of the Warring States period bronze human-form lamp (人形燈) from the ancient state of Zhongshan, depicting a kneeling robed figure holding aloft a flat circular lamp dish with both arms raised. Flanking the central artifact are decorative relief vignettes of acrobatic figures in dynamic poses, evoking the artistic spirit of the Warring States era. To the left, the vertical legend reads '人形燈' (Human-form Lamp) and '战国 中山国' (Warring States, State of Zhongshan); to the right, the denomination '5元' appears in the field. The composition is contained within a beaded border. |
