Art of China and Japan

[Кирилл Данелия]

Eugene,
We Bronislava - yes!
and he, like a true collector - reserved the blackness of specialization ... there are a couple of interesting collections of jade in Russia, Untitled - until these collections will not be declared publicly ...
well, these "few years" have become twelve and an intensive search helps you find things a world-class ...

Cyril Syzransky,
Incidentally, my crazy collection began with Gandara ... and still I'm losing my mind from its Euro-Asiatic movement ... from the Greeks in China ...

This is probably a copy. Therefore, cheap.

This is not a copy, and 18 century. (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%...82%D0%B0%D1%8F) normal price.

In Beijing Museum claims that during the reign of Kangxi was made 150 seals. From the point of view, my knowledge in this area - all signs of a late copy! And the price up!

By the way, an auction and does not say that it is authentic.

It was made as Imperial --
"Her base has an entry in the six letters, (Kangxi Yu Bi Zhi Bao) (In Imperial Hand Kangxi) accurate (Great imperial seal the brush during the reign of Kangxi) for calligraphy, type
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Although, who knows, there were many firms, such as we Faberge. Cut, brought in the late Kangxi. Not much, not buy, not imperial.

Very cute print, a dragon with two pearls. One of the main reasons Chinese mythology, it's two dragons fighting for a pearl.
With great philosophy and humor!
In Taoism and Buddhism is a pearl, performing all the desires, the pearl of perfection, in other words, wisdom, and a beacon of spiritual essence of the universe in the Taoist text retained remarkable legend of the dragon, they grow a pearl of immortality out of nothing. He is concentrating all his will and collects in the space a sublime substance. Day after day, takes this work, and the result is a gem, shining brighter than the sun
