Culture: China. Dimensions: H. 7 1/8 in. (18.1 cm); W. 4 1/2 in. (11.4 cm). Date: late 13th century.The openwork inscription on this circular plaque has been filled with silver to the extent that the characters project from the surface of the plaque on both sides; the inscription on the reverse is thus inverted. The type of script--used early on to write the Mongol language--is named for its inventor, Phakpa (1235-1280), the Tibetan monk and scholar who served as the imperial preceptor for the Mongol court during the reign of Khubilai Khan (1215-94). The inscription reads, "By the strength of Eternal Heaven, an edict of the Emperor Khan. He who has not respect shall be guilty." The form of the pass (paiza), with its animal mask decoration, is similar to that of a Tibetan mirror for reflecting evil.

Exceedingly fine workmanship singles out this game piece as one made for the highest end of the market: the slight difference in color between the uppermost boxwood and the base of walnut would have been more marked when new and may well have identified the player, with the woods inverted on the opponents counters. The detailed design of two portrait-like overlapping heads in profile is particularly unusual.[Elizabeth Cleland, 2017. Game piece with two noblemen in profile. German. mid-16th century.
