WARRING STATES: State of Jin, 500-400 BC, AE spade money (31g), H-2.182, hollow-handled pointed-shoulder type, uninscribed variety, a superb example with attractive patina, graded 78 by GBCA Grading Company, VF, from old Japanese collection with original collector's paulownia wooden case. Spades of this type are found in Northeast Henan and Shanxi, the territory of the Duchy of Jin, later to become Zhao. They are held to be somewhat later in date than the square-shouldered spades. Their shape seems to be designed for ease of tying together in bundles, rather than deriving from any particular agricultural instrument.
