17th century or earlier Vase with Dragons Catalogue: Archives: Pre 1700 item# 737263
click for details		Mandalay Road Trading Company, Inc. (206) 855-0850 SOLD!
Though I can't positively identify it as earlier than 17th century, this vase, decorated with moulded dragons, has an ivory glaze reminiscent of earlier Ly/Tran wares, with a green in the areas where it has pooled into the relief work that is akin to that found on some Song Dynasty pieces. A wonderful piece, in good condition but with some losses to the glaze (shown in pics)as well as remaining dirt encrustation that could not be removed. Approximately 23 cm. in height

This rare Mandarin square, made before the 1870s and probably circa the early to mid 19th century, features the five clawed dragon as its rank motif. The use of the five clawed dragon was traditionally restricted to the imperial family, with the forward facing version generally to princes of the second rank and above.

Four Heavenly Kings, Ching Dynasty Catalogue: Archives: Pre 1837 VR item# 559391
click for details		Mandalay Road Trading Company, Inc. (206) 855-0850 SOLD
A set of mid - later Ching dynasty renditions of the Four Heavenly Kings. Depicted in Buddhist temples as protectors, each is associated with one of the cardinal directions. They also play a similar role in the Taoist tradition. Probably circa late 18th century. One indicator of this is the use of a large iron nail to attach one of them to its original location (see pictures). ...click for details

Pali Book, "Buddhist Bible", Kammawa-sa Catalogue: Archives: Pre 1920 item# 542518
click for details		Mandalay Road Trading Company, Inc. (206) 855-0850 SOLD
Frequently referred to as a "Buddhist Bible", or "Palm Leaf Manuscript", books such as these are actually closer to being rules of ceremony, and are made from lacquered cloth (frequently monks robes) with gold leaf. These Burmese books, known as Kammawa-sa, contain nine elements from an original Pali text, and are written in a stylized form of Burmese known as tamarind seed for the thick, squared form of the script. They were given to the monastery upon the entance of a son ...click for details

Ching Dynasty Walnut Cabinet, 19th century Catalogue: Archives: Pre 1900 item# 538971
click for details		Mandalay Road Trading Company, Inc. (206) 855-0850 SOLD
The use of matching grains to the doors and panels of this broad cabinet help add to the effect induced by the use of the pale Chinese walnut. Subtle traces of red lacquer to the front, probably added after its original manufacture, today enhance the grain it originally would have obscured. The sides and top still have a primarily intact coat (pictures coming soon), with the sides also having simple paintings of bamboo. Original hardware. Approximately 56x69x24.5 inches, 142x175x63 centimete ...click for details

One of the most famous statues of the Buddha in S.E. Asia, the Mahamuni Buddha was cast in bronze and is supposed to be and actual portrait of Buddha made after his (historically inaccurate) visit to the kingdom of Arakan.
