From a collection formed in the 1990's, you are considering a large jade dragon plaque made in the Warring States period, 475-221BCE.

This small vase is probably the upper part of a candlestick. We do not have an example of a Merenide candlestick but those from Egypt are cast in 2 parts which fit together, for the purpose of more practical cleaning of the wax. Its square shape and its incised decoration in the style of "lion's teeth" leads us to think that it is a creation of the Maghreb or Andalusia rather than Syro-Egyptian. Kufic characters are chiseled on the 4 faces. Thick and heavy. Height 10cm. On the edge, a lack of ca...

An image of the humble mortar by Hakuin Ekaku in soft ink tones mounted as a scroll suitable for the way of tea or the modesty of monastic life. Hakuin occasionally incorporated household tools like mortars into his Zen paintings and calligraphy, blending folk motifs with spiritual insight. These images often carried humorous or shocking juxtapositions to jolt the viewer out of dualistic thinking. The mortar in Japanese Zen art stands not just as a utilitarian object but as a multivalent symbol�...

A spawn cluster of embryonic spheres in galactic reds tinged with blue by Konno Yusuke enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Yosei (Larva). The colony of globular orbs masses together, not dead, not alive—just potential thickening; seeds of something quietly multiplying, as if the universe itself began to brood… Each hollow sphere is created uniquely, joined together with a tiny shared pinhole, allowing the superheated oxygen to exchange inside the kiln without bursting. All is ...
