<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1462989, member: 5833"]But the crab does not figure in the Chinese astrological system. So, made for export? Or some other meaning altogether? There is a character with it, too bad we are not likely to find out what it is. It's really curious to me that the crab design is only on the inside. Maybe it was efficient to make plaquettes with designs on both sides, then set them either way out or alternating to create several different looks. Well, I think it's cool. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
