18th-19th century AD. A pair of architectural brackets carved in three tapering sections, each depicting elephants, attendant figures and warrior riding horse; mounted on custom made brackets. Property of an American lady; acquired 1970s-1990s. For a similar example see the Crow Collection of Asian Art, Dallas, Texas, USA. The large mounted figure is Tipu Sultan, 1750-1799, ruler of the kingdom of Mysore. He was known as the Tiger of Mysore and engaged in expansionist attacks against his neighbours. He remained an implacable enemy of the British East India Company, bringing them into renewed conflict with his attack on British-allied Travancore in 1789. In the Third Anglo-Mysore War, Tipu was forced into the humiliating Treaty of Seringapatam, losing a number of previously conquered territories, including Malabar and Mangalore. He sent emissaries to foreign states, including Ottoman Turkey, Afghanistan, and France, in an attempt to rally opposition to the British. In the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, the forces of the British East India Company, supported by the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad, defeated Tipu and he was killed on 4 May 1799 while defending his fort of Srirangapatna. These brackets are closely modeled on the stone carvings on the famous Horse Mandapa in the temple of Srirangam, near Trinchinopoly. 27 kg total, 91.5cm including bracket (36"). [2] Fine condition.

A Chinese porcelain Ko-Sometsuke rabbit dish, Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, 1628-1644 Dia.: 12,6 cm Condition: Very good, minor rim fritting. The central design shows the moon rabbit, the border is of swirling water with flowers. The base with an apocryphal Chenghua Mark (Ming 1465-1487). The Moon rabbit, also called the Jade Rabbit, is a rabbit that lives on the moon in East Asian folklore. The legends about the moon rabbit are based on the traditional story that identifies the markings of the moon as a rabbit pounding in a mortar. In Chinese folklore, it is often portrayed as a companion of the moon goddess Chang'e, constantly pounding the elixir of life for her; but in Japanese and Korean versions it is just pounding mochi. Ko-Sometsuke is a term used to describe Chinese blue and white porcelain made for Japan. This late Ming porcelain was made from the Wanli period (1573-1620) and ended in the Chongzhen period (1628-1644), the main period of production being the 1620'2 and 1630's. The porcelain objects produced were made especially for the Japanese market, both the shapes and the designs were tailored to Japanese taste, the production process too allowed for Japanese aesthetics to be included in the finished object. Its seams firing faults were added, repaired tears in the leather-hard body were too frequent to not, in some cases, be deliberate. These imperfections as well as the frittingMushikui(insect-nibbled) rims and kiln grit on the footrims all added to the Japanese aesthetic. The shapes created were often expressly made for the Japanese tea ceremony meal, theKaiseki, small dishes for serving food at the tea ceremony are the most commonly encountered form. Designs, presumably taken from Japanese drawings sent to China, are very varied, often using large amount of the white porcelain contrasting well with the asymmetry of the design.
