Description
Tibet, 50 Tam, dated T.E. 1659 (= AD 1913), purple, serial number 545, black seal 1? First obverse block variety with gap between the last word dgu and the final vertical stroke at the end of the second line of the legend. Obverse: In the central panel two lions are shown facing each other and playing with a ball. A mountainous landscape with sun in the centre and clouds can be seen in the background. Reverse: The central panel shows a scene called tshe ring rnam drug ("the six long living") consisting of an old man (mi tshe ring) sitting under what most probably is a peach tree, his left hand resting in his lap and holding a rosary, his raised right hand holding a water pot. Three jewels are placed in front of him and to his right is seen a pair of deer and a pair of cranes. Behind the cranes, the sun, clouds and mountains are visible. To the left of the old man, one notes a waterfall, a large rock in the shape of a conch and flowers. The pairs of deers and cranes, the rock, the waterfall and the peach tree are all features which are associated with longevity.
(Pick 6, YZM 876var.), The note may have been exposed to water which affected the colour, otherwise it is very fine/extra fine and rare.
