Description (Physical description)
One of two ovoid printing blocks, used for printing charms. There are three figures near to the upper edge; the central figure appears to be holding a spear above his head, with the other two figures being attendants or standard bearers either side of him. There is a large bell shape beneath these figures, with a number of characters in a Chinese script within the bell and surrounding it.
