| Reference Number: Avaluer:53721520 |
********************************** Jade Buddha Temple, Shanghai China Souvenir Token / paperweight In Shanghai, there is a famous Buddhist temple, Jade Buddha Temple. In 1882, a temple was built to house two Jade Buddha Statues which had been brought from Burma by the monk Huigen. The temple was destroyed during the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately the statues were saved and a new temple was built on the present site in 1928- the Jade Buddha Temple. I obtained ...this on a trip to China back in 1986. Token is metal, approx 1.5" in diameter and rather heavy. ********************************************** Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
