老將說黃忠
收川立大功
身批金錙甲
手挽鐵胎兮
膽氣驚河北
威名鎮蜀中

Which may be translated as:
The old general speaks of Huang Zhong;
controlling the rivers with great merit.
His body draped with golden armor;
his hands roll iron.
His bravery scares those north of the river;
his mighty name guards the Kingdom of Shu.

Compare also a very similar ‘Tan Xinpei’ glass snuff bottle, Ma
Shaoxuan, which was sold in our San Francisco Rooms, 16 March
2010, lot 8121.
