Kuei Tablet
Late Neolithic to Hsia
Period
One side of the central
section of this kuei tablet
shows an abstract human
face with outspread bird's
feathers, while the other
side shows a realistic hawk.
This illustrates the bird-
worshipping religion of the
I and Yueh Cultures. On the
upper and lower sections are
carved seals of the Ch'ien-
lung Emperor and verses of
his own composition.
