The coins bear the reign marks of Tao-kuang and Hsien-feng. [1821-1850 & 1851-1861 respectively] which, together with the flint lock, suggests that the carving must be post-1851 and probably is nearer 1870.
In my experience this is the only ancestral image which depicts the calling of the deceased.
