A WHITE JADE CARVING OF TWO MONKEYS WITH A PEACH CHINA, POSSIBLY QING DYNASTY OR LATER Carved out of a single piece of stone of flawless white tone. It depicts two seated and coiled monkeys with a peach. Its base is finely carved to depict the monkeys’ tails and feet. With a desirable and sweet polish. H: 4,2 cm Weight: 96,2 grams Notes: 1. The motif of monkey and peach has been popular in Chinese art since the tale of ‘Xiyou ji’ (西遊記 - Journey to the West), published in the Ming dynasty, narrating the story of a monkey (the Monkey King Sun Wukong - 孙悟空) stealing a celestial peach of longevity from the orchard of the Queen Mother of the West. Naturally, the symbolism is one of longevity as the peach (tao - 桃) symbolizes marriage, spring, justice and especially Daoist immortality. 2. A similar carving of a single monkey holding a peach was sold at SOTHEBY'S London, UK, 2013-11-06, lot 28, for GBP 110,500. A carving of similar large size and subject matter is illustrated in Robert Kleiner: Chinese Jades from the Collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, Hong Kong, 1996, pl. 188 and sold at Christie's Hong Kong on 27th November 2007, lot 1557 白玉雕刻-灵猴献仙桃 中国，可能为清代 NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.

PROPERTIES FROM A NOTED COLLECTION OF JADES AND SNUFFBOTTLES A WHITE JADE CARVING OF A LOTUS ROOT AND BIRD CHINA, QING DYNASTY The stone, of fine white color highlighted with added russet, is naturalistically carved as a lotus root or rhizome to each side and further depicted with a bird. L: 7,5 cm Weight: 117,8 grams Notes: 1. A seemingly rare and original depiction of the subject. Because the Buddha is often depicted as seated atop a lotus, the lotus is considered a sacred Buddhist symbol (one of Eight Auspicious Symbols) representing purity and detachment from worldly cares. Additionally, the Chinese word for lotus is ‘lianhua’ (莲花) or ‘hehua’ (荷花) and ‘lian’ is also the pronunciation of the words for continuous (连) and harmony (和). As a result, the lotus has the hidden meaning of ‘continuous harmony’. 2. A fine white jade stone blushed throughout with russet highlights. 3.

Though, it may be understood as a wish to be ranked first at the imperial examinations. 2. Compare with a small Suzhou agate openwork pendant adorned with a monkey and also bearing an inscription from the Lizzadro Collection, Chicago, USA, sold at CHRISTIE’S New York, USA, 2013-09-19, lot 1198, for USD 37,500. 苏州玛瑙玉雕组-骑海兽的童子 - 独占鳌头 中国，可能为清代，18-19世纪 NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.

Pieces either bought privately or at public auction. Note: The ox is one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. A boy, or cowherd, riding an ox, represents the early humble beginnings of Emperor Tai Zu of the Ming Dynasty. Because of their importance to agriculture, the water buffalo or ox (niu - 牛) symbolizes springtime, harvest and fertility. To city dwellers and government officials, the water buffalo also represents a simple and idyllic life. 水牛或公牛横卧玉雕 中国，民国时期 NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.

PROPERTIES FROM A FRENCH COLLECTOR OF JADE CARVINGS AND SNUFFBOTTLES AN UNUSUAL ‘DRAGON AND CLOUDS’ AGATE SNUFF BOTTLE CHINA This snuff bottle has been carved out of a single block of agate of greyish tones with a thick orange skin. It rests on a short ring foot, has a flattened body and round shoulders surmounted by a short cylindrical rim.

The inner part is well hollowed. H: 5,5 cm Weight: 82,6 grams Provenance: Property from a French collector: a collection of jade and stone carvings and snuff bottles assembled over two decades.

The dragon is believed to live in the mountains or in the seas and can fly into the heavens. Ancient Chinese believed the dragon brought rain, good harvests and fertility. Clouds, sometimes referred to as ‘auspicious clouds’ (xiangyun - 祥云), represent the heavens and also ‘good luck’ because the Chinese word for cloud (yun - 云) is pronounced the same as yun (运) meaning ‘luck’ or ‘fortune’. Its form often resembles the auspicious shape of the lingzhi ‘fungus of immortality’. The cloud is a commonly seen design and when repeated in a pattern symbolizes never-ending fortune. 罕见的祥云龙纹玛瑙鼻烟壶 中国，20世纪 NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.

The jade stone has been very finely carved so it has a semi-translucent or diaphanous aspect. Offered at auction together with a parcel reticulated wooden stand. H: 3,9 cm - L: 17,8 cm Weight: 200 grams Note: 1.Large shallow bowls with two loose-ring handles carved from white or very pale green jade, such as the present lot, were deemed very suitable as prestigious gifts at a wedding, hence their typical designation as 'marriage bowls'. Many feature pairs of butterflies, bats or mythical beasts as the handles, the depiction of the animals or insects in pairs being suggestive of happy union. Bats in particular were a popular motif to celebrate a happy occasion such as a wedding, since the character for bat (蝠 - fu), is a pun for wealth and happiness (i.e. 富 - fu and 福 - fu). 2. Jades carved in this florid style originated in Hindustan in the Mughal period and began to come to China around the middle of the Qianlong Emperor's reign. The first carved jade bowl to have been sent from Central Asia as tribute is recorded for AD 1756, and thereafter tribute gifts of this type continued to arrive throughout the Emperor¡’s reign and beyond.

FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF JUAN CARLOS KATZENSTEIN (1925-2018): A PROMINENT ARGENTINIAN DIPLOMAT (BY REPUTE) STONE-EMBELLISHED GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF AN ELEVEN-HEADED AVALOKITESVARA TIBETO CHINESE / SINO-TIBETAN, POSSIBLY 18TH CENTURY Mercury gilt and initially stone embellished. Exquisitely modeled and standing on a single lotus rank base, with his two principle hands in front of his chest in anjali mudra and holding various implements in his six radiating hands (here only the lotus blossom and the kundika are left) dressed in a pleated two-tier ankle-length dhoti incised with a floral pattern, adorned with jewelry festoons and an antelope skin draped over the left shoulder, the eleven faces arranged in tiers, each surmounted by a jeweled tiara, the primary head with cascading locks of hair, the face with almond shaped eyes and bow-shaped mouth, richly gilt overall with polychromy remaining. The base is sealed with a plaque centered by a vajra. H: 35,5 cm Weight: 1330 grams *****DIMENSIONS SHOULD READ 35,5 CM***** Provenance: - a private collection; - Juan Carlos Katzenstein (1925-2018), an Argentinian Diplomat, who was an Ambassador in Beijing, China, from December 6, 1975 to January 2, 1978, and later to the Holy See (Vatican) and to the Sovereign Order of Malta from 1989 to 1991 (by repute). Note: The origin of the eleven-headed Avalokiteshvara is shrouded by many legends. In one version, the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara vowed to never give up practicing tender loving compassion and would not reach enlightenment until all beings had reached nirvana. He tried for eons with no avail and when he saw no decrease in suffering of living things within samsara, his head split into a thousand pieces in despair. His spiritual father, Amitabha, consolidated them into ten heads and placed them above each other, then putting his own head on top. The wrathful aspect of Avalokiteshvara, Mahakala, came into existence to fight against negative forces with compassion, guiding all living things toward righteousness and achieving enlightenment. 铜鎏金十一面观音菩萨像 中国西藏，可能为18世纪 NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.
