Hi everyone,

After many searches without result (dictionaries, internet, friends...), I ask you for your help to translate this sign which seems very mysterious...

Thank you very much in advance for your help !

Do you have a picture of the entire object, including the right half?

Isn't it just a stylized 車 (trad.) / 车 (simp.)?  (Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert on this.)

Nope, it's 東 in seal script. Could be the left half of a character.

 

車 = 象形 (a chariot seen from above, 丨 being the axle, 二 the wheels!)

東 = 会意 (日在木中)
