Description
English: The reverse side of the charm is usually described as showing four “babies” playing and having fun (婴孩嬉戏玩耍). It is not unusual for Liao dynasty charms to include children playing. There is a figure above who resembles the other “babies” but, nevertheless, does appear to be riding something.
Date The Khitan Liao (辽朝 907-1125) or Song (宋朝 960-1279) dynasties.
