$23.49 Shipping Location: Lummi Island, United States TRANSLATE Arabic Chinese French German Greek Indonesian Italian Hindi Japanese Korean Swedish Portuguese Russian Spanish Very Nicely Preserved. Very Beautiful, ... moreGenuine 16th-17th Century Ming Dynasty Chinese“Famille Rose” Porcelain Bowl. Perfect as a Candy or Potpourri Bowl for Work or Home. CLASSIFICATION: Famille Rose Style Porcelain Bowl. ATTRIBUTION: Ancient China. Ming Dynasty, Between 1500 and 1600 A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Diameter: 125 millimeters(5 inches) at top rim; 68 millimeters(2 2/3 inches) at base. Height: 42 millimeters(1 2/3 inches) CONDITION: Very good. A little wear consistent with any household item which is between four and five centuries in age. A few of the customary. Almost obligatory rim chips(one small, one tiny) The typical blemishes of hand production(warts and dimples, zits and pits) Not flawless, but certainly in an excellent state of preservation. DETAIL: A splendidly preserved scalloped“famille rose” porcelain bowl so wonderfully characteristic of the very popular export Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain china. The particular style was extremely popular both in England and Europe throughout the 16th to 19th centuries. As well as in the USA during the 1800’s. This piece is a wonderful example of this very famous produce. The glaze is entirely intact, vibrantly colored, and the condition of the plate is wonderful! As you can see, the bowl not only has a delightful hand-painted floral design on the outside surface of the bowl, the inside sports a gorgeous and thick green porcelain glaze. If you look closely at the pictures here, you will see that there are a few very small rim chips. One of them is very tiny and requires a lot of searching to find it– even if you know it is there. It is a very tiny chip on the outside of the rim. There is a somewhat larger, though still quite small rim chip on the inside of the rim. These fine little rim chips are not only common in ancient porcelain. They’re almost obligatory. A bowl five centuries old without any such blemishes would al

An Ashanti Maternity Figure Normal.dotm 0 0 1 154 879 Full Sail 7 1 1079 12.0 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false ... morefalse false Numbering nearly 2 million people. The Ashanti, or Asante, of Ghana are a widespread people in the southern portion of the country, and belong to the Akan conglomerate of ethnic groups. Most famous for their elaborate stools, which are carved for each member of the Ashanti society, they are capable craftsman, producing both fine metalwork via the lost wax casting method, and highly detailed woodwork, from maternity figures, to stools, to household items, to their internationally renowned"acua'ba" fertility dolls. The honored deceased are also commemorated with fired ceramic head busts. Once one of the larger pre-colonial empires of West Africa, the Ashanti make up a very large percentage of the population of their region still today. The maternity figure itself is an extremely important form of art produced throughout much of the African continent. And a form of this figure can be found in the majority of art producing ethnic groups. Some are rendered as part animal, some strictly human. Some are produced as clear representations, some are highly abstract. They are carved from wood and cast in metal. To the African woman, motherhood is the single most important role in life. An absolutely outstanding maternity figure. The woman depicted in this piece was incredibly fortunate by African standards, being covered at every angle by children! Bearing the famous circular disc-shaped head of the Acua'ba doll which is characteristically associated with Ashanti fertility motifs, this mother displays the good fortune of having five healthy children, one seated on each knee, one clinging to each leg, and one clutching her back. On the face is depicted a traditionally graceful and serene expression, and she exhibits rings around her neck; indications of fat rolls, a common sign of prosperity among many African nations. Around perimeter of her head
