Lot 1153
Outstanding, Colorful Small Agate Carvings. China or Japan, c. 1960's - 1980's. Among the most delightful lapidary items in this oriental collection: the artists use the utmost of their artistry and ingenuity to fashion the stone's colored bandings as lively points of focus, with the rest of the stone as its supporting environment. Seen: a gray-lavender reclining bull on a leafy carpet of rust and orange; a chilong, in tan-creme, on foliage of brown, gray, and white; Buddha within a cave, Buddha an almost gray-lavender, the cave and foliage in yellow-browns and orange; two tussling cats carved out of a bright turquoise nugget; and more. Lengths: 1-1/2" - 3". Inspection recommended -- some delightful sculptures here. Lot of 11 items.
Estimated Value $800 - 900.
