| 表面の説明 | Cast bronze ant-nose money of oval form, exhibiting a raised incuse character in archaic Chinese script occupying the central field. The character 行 (Xing) is rendered in shallow relief against the plain, slightly convex field, with the naturalistic surface patinated in mottled green and brown verdigris characteristic of ancient cast bronzes. A small suspension hole is pierced through the upper portion of the piece. The overall form and surface treatment are typical of Warring States period Chu currency, with the inscription appearing in a cursive, archaic style consistent with Chu script conventions. |

Chu was the dominant southern state during the Warring States period, and its currency system diverged sharply from the bronze spade and knife money used by northern rivals. These cast pieces — named in modern parlance for the facial resemblance to an insect's head — bear a single graph that most scholars read as "bei," referencing the cowrie shells they effectively replaced in the Huai River valley economy. Chu never unified its coinage even within its own borders; ant-nose pieces circulated alongside gold "ying yuan" tablets, an arrangement unique among the major Warring States polities.
