| 1971.49.1-q2.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1971 | Ivory casket hinged lid, handles and an ivory base tray, decorated with exquisite carvings of figurines in garden design. Surface of lid, a picture featuring two sections. On the right, a bearded mandarin dressed in Court Attire is seated in the centre of a garden, surrounded by attendants and other officials; behing him there is an arch with a panel saying "Yu Men" (Chinese:禹门, meaning the door of becoming a madarin). On the left, a woman , possibly the mandarin's wife, is seated in the centre of another garden, holding a folded fan; she is attended by a female servant; behind her there is another arch with a panel saying "Hong Ting"(Chinese:洪汀, meaning unknown). The mandarin's figure is exceptionally big comparing to all other figures on. Behind either archs there are pavilions and summer houses. In the foreground, a bridge connects the gardens and many people are walking on the bridge, carrying various belongings such as umbrella, fan, basket, flower, goods etc. By the side of the bridge there is a junk with several passengers and a boatman. In the background above the two gardens there are some other figures: on the right, five figures carrying fan or farming tool; centre, five figures resting near a pagoda; left. three figures sitting by a house. The whole picture is edged with various floral patterns and enclosed in a border of similar floral patterns. Apart from the surface of the lid, the other surfaces of the box provide 16 more panel sections, each bound and decorated with exquisite carvings: the 8 panels around the lid construct into a continuous picture, while the other 8 panels around the body of the casket construct into another continuous picture. The motives for either picture are much similar: they shouw figures in various activities, either boating, walking on a bridge, sitting in a garden or talking to each other. This is a common motif on ivory-carving artefacts produced in Guangzhou (Canton). On the left of the back panel there is a nicely decorated boat which is probably a Flower Boat, which is a type of floating entertainment hub in Guangzhou, see [Iconography]. The casket stands on four legs which are decorated with the head of a lion-like monster. The object is placed in a tray which is made of plain ivory plaques mount with fabrics. The casket has a pair of shinny golden handles (one missing), and the tray also has one.

| durom.2015.95-tt.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/2015 | Balkhar toy. The Lak village of Balkhar in Dagestan has specialised in ceramics since the 13th century. Originally emerging in the mountains as a simple means of earning a living, Balkhar ceramics turned into an art form. In Balkhar, pottery production was traditionally considered to be an exclusively female activity; as a male activity it was considered shameful. Taught from early an early age, Balkhar women were responsible for the entire pottery-making process. The potters of Balkhar manufacture not only vessels but a great amount of decorative wall dishes, miniature sculptures, figures and toys._x000D__x000D_
This example of a Balkhar toy depicts a composition of fantastic creatures (possibly birds). Two creatures, the bigger and the smaller, modulated in the similar manner to traditional Russian clay toy - whistles. The bigger creature stands on the small body which narrows to the back and ends with a coiled tail. It has two short front limbs, long and graceful neck, small head with opened beak - muzzle, two round protruding white eyes and triangle shaped crest with embossed top. _x000D__x000D_
