An octafoil silver "twin birds" dishSouthern Song dynasty
14.0cm diam.,注脚Provenance:
R and V Tregaskis Oriental Art, Sydney (no. 2962)

Compare an almost identical dish with the same inscription, see J. J. Lally & Co., Silver and Gold in Ancient China, 16 March to 14 April, 2012, Lot 23. According to the catalogue, the stamped inscription includes two characters which may be read as san lang [三郎]. The same inscription appears on a set of ten silver dishes excavated in 1996 from a hoard containing late Sing to early Yuan objects, illustrated in Hunan chutu jinyinqi (Gold and Silver Excavated in Hunan), Changsha, 2009, pp. 97–106, with detail images of two of the inscriptions on pp. 98 and 99.

紐約 J. J. Lally & Co. 2012年3月16日至4月14日的展覽中，有一與該碟幾乎相同的展品，亦銘刻相同戳記，見當時圖錄 Silver and Gold in Ancient China，圖錄號23. 錄著中說明，銘文中似乎含有「三郎」二字。同樣的銘文出現於一組1996年出土的銀器，刊於《湖南出土銀器》，長沙，2009，頁97至106，銘文見於頁98與99
