"Chinese Junk In Carved And Polychromed Bone And Bone Veneer."
Carved and polychromed bone and bone veneer junk.It sails on waves and rests on a blackened wooden base.
Ten highly expressive and finely sculpted Chinese dignitaries enliven the scene.
Some carry attributes or offerings.
The group consists of four women and five men who are probably going to a ceremony.
Nine finely sculpted figures stand on the deck, the tenth, an old sage, sits in the cabin and watches us through the open window.
China, 20th century.
