Lot 2593
Lot of Three Chinese Carved Figurines. Two are female "Quan Yin"-like figures, in flowing garments, with elaborately coiffured hair. One stands, holding a handled bowl or basket, plus flowers and lotus buds. The second is similar, but in reclining-sitting position, with a lotus blossom and water lily pad resting on knee. The third figurine is that of an older woman in less extravagant raiments. She stands holding a bamboo pole from which hangs a fish, with another fish in her other hand. Two of the figures come with carved wooden bases. All figurines with some chips and/or repairs. Along with these, three more items: nicely detailed figures of enthroned emperor and empress, and vase with two tranquil vistas surrounded by raised and inletted decorative arabesques. The three in "ivorine," a resin substitute for elephant ivory. Heights of lapis figures: 4-7/8"; 4-1/4"; 2-1/8". Lot of 6 items.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
