Bronze Burmese Pagoda Bell Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Metalwork: Pre 1900 item# 850952 (stock# 64-08)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $330
This late 19th century bronze bell is cast in the manner of the much larger bells that are prominent features in Buddhist temples and monasteries throughout Burma. It hangs from a metal crossbar that also supports a U-shaped handle flanked with “to-naya” (snake-like dragons) that match those on the bell hanger. This relatively small bell (eight inches in height) has a clapper, unlike the huge bells that weigh a ton or more and are struck on the outside with a wooden mallet. In spite of its size, ...click for details

click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $275
Iridescent blue kingfisher bird feathers were used to create the five petals of this 19th century Chinese pin that was most likely used as a hair ornament. Feathers from the tiny kingfisher bird decorated items used by the ladies of Chinese imperial courts for many centuries. Jewelry and other articles covered with the feathers were found in Tang Dynasty tombs. In the 18th century, the fashion developed for very large, intricate feather headpieces, and these can be seen worn by empresses and the ...click for details

click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $470
This Qing Dynasty scholar’s box has four rosewood doors hand painted with ivory-colored flowers and foliage, following the traditional practice of Chinese scholars to surround themselves in their studios with reminders of nature. Made to be displayed on a table or desk, the box was used to store carved signature seals, ink sticks and other small items. The rosewood door panels are set within hand carved elm beading and frames, and the front, sides and top of the piece are made of elm wood in a r ...click for details

Large Teak Peacock Carving from Burmese Bullock Cart Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Folk Art: Pre 1900 item# 847266 (stock# 57-22)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $860
This large 19th century teak wood carving of a peacock tucked within exotic foliage was once part of a Burmese bullock cart. The size of the carving—over three feet long—suggests that it was ornamentation on a very special cart, perhaps used for ceremonial occasions. The peacock, national bird of Burma, is carved in an unusual way, with its tail unfurled and both wings raised, riding in a bower of foliage. (Interestingly, a similar looking peacock, minus the foliage, appears on the flag of Burme ...click for details

click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $295
A late 19th century Chinese wood panel has excellent sinuous pierced carving on wide bands that stretch across the top and bottom and are set within a contrasting wood frame. The plain frame in a lighter reddish hue draws the eye to the quality of carving in the darker red/brown bands. The piece has been fitted with a new mirror, which for photography purposes, has been sprayed with a temporary non-reflective film. Originally part of a multi-panel screen, this Qing carving is in very good condit ...click for details

click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $250
An early 20th century plate from Arita in Japan’s southern island of Kyushu has a vivid underglaze cobalt and white scene of a rugged coastline. Gnarled pine trees overhang a house nestled below a steep cliff. A boatman can be seen nearing the shore. At the base of the pine trees, a cobalt stamp with the characters “HI” (pronounced “he”) is integrated into the scene to identify the maker of this piece. The plate is in pristine condition. Dimensions: diameter 12 ¼” (31 cm).

Full size offering bowls with the distinctive hsun-ok silhouette generally are about 13 to 15 inches in diameter.

Designed to store and serve dumplings, this unusual Qing reed and wood basket originated in China’s western Shaanxi Province, which has a long-standing reputation for producing excellent dumplings. Both the top and bottom are edged with wide strips of bent willow hand painted with flowers. The wood is secured to the basketry with metal studs. A hand forged metal hasp is used as the front closure. Acting as a hinge in the back is a large metal ring loosely fastened to loops, an arrangement that ...click for details

click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $425
A peacock embroidered in jewel tones stands on a low tree peony branch on this large red silk wall hanging from the late Qing period. During China’s Ming and Qing Dynasties, the peacock was used as a symbol of rank and also was presented as recognition for meritorious service. It symbolized beauty and dignity, and often was combined, as here, with the tree peony, emblem of Spring and good fortune. This peacock, its tail and wings spread wide against the red silk, is regal in shades of teal, pur ...click for details

click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $160
A heavy 200-year-old pipe from Burma is made of clay mixed with a generous amount of sand. Such sturdy unglazed pipes and other utilitarian items were produced for centuries in Burma’s provincial pottery villages using primitive techniques developed during the Pagan Period. This pipe is very similar to those excavated in earlier times, illustrated in “Burmese Crafts Past and Present” by Sylvia Fraser-Lu, Oxford University Press, 1994, p. 205. It has two small chips on the edges of the bowl; oth ...click for details
