Description
Drawn almost exclusively from private collections, this book presents objects rarely appearing in print (and then only in specialized catalogues). The works included cover bronzes, jade, sculpture, and ceramics. The earlier bronzes reflect religious ritual, and later, pure ornamentation. Jades are noted for the perfection of their craftsmanship. The sculpture exists in bronze, jade, and stone. Ceramics include religious figures and porcelains with delicate floral designs
