Antique Questions Forum / Chinese Painted rock and Megalodon Tooth

« on: December 18, 2005, 12:04:25 pm »

The tooth is 5 inches long and 2 inches wide.  It is split down the middle and missing the other half though.

Painted in the early 1900's supposedly.  A rock from the ocean depicting the guy who came from India and brought Buddhism to China.

What do the characters mean on the back?

4 inches tall, 4 and a hald inches wide, and about 1 inch deep at the middle.  It's very flat, like a very heavy skipping stone.  

Thank!
