    The analysis by "Orenda" at elite link above is interesting. They examined the item in many different ways to detect known signs of fakery and found none, and suggested that the item was approx 2000 years old. The analysis seemed very comprehensive, including areas like tool marks.

    Thanks Springfield.asernal, from what I know the Chariot got at least more than 100 years, when I bought chariot & oil lamps the old Chinese man asked me : Are you fright of ghost? If you fright then do not buy then because those was taken from old tomb. I feel a bit scary so took home & do but clean up with hot water, half of lemon, towel, but the old style Chinese words seem hard to find who can read it even the previous Chinese owner can't read it too.

    Thanks you all

    All I know about wood is when I like it... and I love that. So rich and warm, has such depth of glow.
