Description
This collection comprises a variety of decorative objects primarily of Chinese and East Asian influence. Included is a large oval black lacquer plaque with shell or soapstone inlay depicting figures in a landscape with pagodas. A carved hardwood vessel is fashioned in the form of a human head. The group contains two boxed sets of Baoding meditation balls: one pair with a polished chrome finish in a green patterned box, and another pair featuring gold-coloured celestial motifs on a dark ground in a blue silk-covered box. There is a rectangular wooden box with an inset lid panel depicting two ceremonial elephants in traditional dress. Also present is a boxed presentation set of decorative chopsticks with floral bands, and a set of six gilt-metal filigree ornaments with turquoise-coloured beads. The collection is further comprised of a paper and bamboo folding fan with a peacock design, two pale green hardstone carvings including a figure of an immortal, a brass handbell with a wooden handle, and a dark-toned Jin Chan money toad carving. A label with Chinese characters is visible on the blue Baoding ball box, though it is not clearly legible.
Oval plaque width: approx. 430 mm
Elephant box length: approx. 250 mm.
