Ancient Chinese clay Hell money

CHINA, "Hell" money
Perhaps you are familiar with the modern imitation paper money burned in Chinese funerals. At some of these functions miniature papier mache models of cars, TV sets, etc. are also burned as part of the proceedings. These modern versions are survivals of practices that began thousands of years ago with the interment of real objects, animals, and even people at the funeral.
These things are "Hell" money. Seems reasonable to assume that the cowries are late Zhou, perhaps 300 BC, when they were using cowries and cowrie imitations for money. The others were described to me as "Han dynasty or later."
