A Superb Original Indonesian Barong Dance Painting Catalogue: Fine Art: Paintings: Acrylic: Pre 2000 item# 1062971
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection $ 2,995
From our Southeast Asia Collection, a superb original and signed acrylic painting on canvas depicting an Indonesian Barong Dance. Though this particular piece does not share the same museum provenance as our other Barong Dance offering (see item # 938720), we think it is at least of equal merit. Some may even think it is superior. In any case, both are superb examples. The Barong Dance is one of those wonderful a ...click for details

A Very Good Pair of Indian Miniatures Catalogue: Fine Art: Paintings: Miniatures: Pre 2000 item# 1061616
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection $ 395
From our Indian Subcontinent Collection, a very good pair of contemporary Indian miniature paintings of caparisoned elephants, executed in a palette that contrasts rich red with a lavish use of gilt, along with grey, white, and black. Often painted with single-haired sable brushes or their equivalent, some of the details here are so fine they are difficult to appreciate without a jeweler's loop. Even our 6x magnification camera lens does not fully capture all the detail, we can only see it ...click for details

From our Fine Arts and Americana Collection, a nice set of vintage American nightstands dating from the 1950's, constructed of solid hardwood with Carpathian Elm burl veneers.

From our Southeast Asia Collection, a fine and complete Burmese Kammavaca Manuscript, late 19th - early 20th century, containing all 16 leaves and the original teak wood covers. Kammavaca manuscripts are a quintessentially Burmese artifact that reflect the general reverence afforded to the monastic system in that country.

Later, in t ...click for details

A Good Meiji Period (1868-1912) Imari Dish Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Porcelain: Pre 1900 item# 1045062

A Beautiful White Porcelain Guanyin, Jingdezhen Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Porcelain: Pre 1980 item# 1043878
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection Sold
From our Chinese Monochrome Collection, a beautiful white porcelain Guanyin, Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, executed in the style of early 20th century slip-cast blanc de chine from Dehua, but actually a later vintage-era white porcelain example from Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province. (Among other things, the difference here rests in the nature of the underlying porcelain paste, which to novice eyes may be difficult to discern, but to our eyes is clearly not true blanc de chine.) Nevertheless, s ...click for details
