Visual Description

This antique token features a classic circular shape, with an aged and patinated finish, reminiscent of a coin or esoteric talisman. The visible face is adorned with numerous engraved symbols in relief, including a six-pointed star, a crescent moon, a central cross, and several astrological signs around the perimeter (notably those of Saturn and Mars). A numbered magic square is also visible, as are the inscriptions: "ABA", "TAIE", "EHIE", "ELAB", which are positioned around the central cross. Several other occult or alchemical signs are also present, lending the object a ritual or protective appearance.

The token has a primary bronze or aged brass color, with verdigris nuances in the recesses, accentuating the contrast of the motifs. The perimeter of the token is decorated with clearly recognizable symbols, which enhances its esoteric and mysterious style. The object is presented on a white textile support, which highlights the richness of its details and the quality of the engraving.

The design of this token is typical of objects inspired by occultism or ceremonial magic, with a symmetrical arrangement and iconography associated with the hermetic or alchemical tradition. The manufacturing appears to be carefully done, with clear and regular motifs, without chips or visible defects on the photographed side.

The mention "made in China" in the keywords indicates the country of manufacture, but the overall aesthetic is clearly inspired by Western models of talismans or magical tokens used for protection or esoteric rituals.
