An Afghani Hand-Made Rug with American Military Motifs Catalogue: New Century: Folk Art: Contemporary item# 1029365
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection $ 750
From our World Handicrafts Collection (Ex-Asia), a very interesting Afghani hand-made tribal rug decorated with American military helicopter and B-52 bomber motifs. This piece was acquired about 16 months after the American military campaign in Afghanistan was launched in response to the 911 attacks, and in a fascinating example of art imitating life, the villager who crafted this rug chose to fashion it in this manner, reflecting the military aircraft he/she no doubt saw in the sky day after d ...click for details

A Good Hand-Carved Peruvian Softwood Mirror from Cuzco Catalogue: New Century: Folk Art: Pre 2000 item# 1029352
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection $ 145
From our World Handicrafts Collection (Ex-Asia), a charming hand-carved mirror frame from Cuzco Peru, sister city of the famed Macchu Piccu ruins. The wood used here is an indigenous Andean softwood that has been very skillfully carved in Spanish Baroque style, not uncommon since Peru was colonized by the Spanish in the 1500's and Spanish architectural influence still pervades their culture and crafts. The mirrored glass was installed later in the States. A lovely and unique gift item. ...click for details

Reference Book: Song Dynasty Ceramics Catalogue: Traditional Collectibles: Books: References: Antiques: Contemporary item# 1028932
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection Free with any Song Dynasty ceramics purchase from our Early Chinese section

Reference Book: Burma, Art and Archaeology Catalogue: Traditional Collectibles: Books: References: Antiques: Contemporary item# 1028931
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection Free with any purchase of Burmese wares over $300 from our Southeast Asia section
A very interesting reference book that is more a specialist's reference on a compilation of certain individual topics than a general survey book on Burmese wares in general. There are 15 different essays here dealing with a broad range of topics such as Burmese Buddhist Sculpture in the British Museum; Court Dress of the Shan States; Burmese Votive Tablets; Problems and Issues Concerning the Preservation of Wooden Monasteries in Burma; Burmese Arts and Crafts in the Scherman Collection (Ge ...click for details

Reference Book: Blanc de Chine (Dehua) Catalogue: Traditional Collectibles: Books: References: Antiques: Contemporary item# 1028929
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection Free with any blanc de chine purchase from our Chinese Monochrome section
An excellent pictorial reference specializing in blanc de chine (dehua) and a must-have book for anybody collecting within this field. The text by Robert Blumenthal is very good as well. We personally find that blanc de chine is probably the biggest area of fraud, abuse, and mistake by unscrupulous and /or unknowledgeable dealers, and as such it is probably the main area where novice collectors get burnt the most. From what we see, we estimate that a staggering 75% of so-called blanc de chine s ...click for details

The pieces represented cover mostly the same periods as the Bower book on the Solomon Collection, namely the Han, Northern Wei, Northern Qi, and Tang Dynasties, but this book also goes a little further to cover the Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties as well. In our candid opinion, it's not enough of a reason to purchase an anti ...click for details

Reference Book: Chinese Export Porcelain Catalogue: Traditional Collectibles: Books: References: Antiques: Pre 1980 item# 1028707
click for details		The Bodhisattva Collection Free with any Rose Medallion purchase or other Chinese Export pieces
A very good reference book that covers various Chinese export wares, but which is especially useful for Chinese Rose Medallion collectors. While the book is somewhat lacking in that most of the photos are black and white and not in color, the book is still very important as an encyclopedic guide to all the myriad of shapes and forms within the Rose Medallion genre. From standard vases and bowls to the more obscure shapes like marmites, sponge dishes, and bulb trays, this book has virtually ever ...click for details
