There are two types of surface of the 1st batch amulets, the plain surface brushed with nothing and the lacquer- brushed surface.

The lacquer-brushed surface items are rather easier to verify than the plain-surfaced ones due to the nature of lacquer that help so much in examination.

As mentioned above there are 10 molds of the 1st batch amulet but practically a lot of collectors could not remember all molds. By the way, there are still fast and instant professional techniques to make a verifying examination. The above amulet is the ROUGH-SURFACED type. Please see the pointing numbers above.

1. Shallow cracks of texture spreading wide area of the amulet surface.
2. Lacquer cracks: The cracking lines are UNDERNEATH the lacquered surface, not the lacquered TOP surface.
