Frederick Hinke became politically active and served as U.S. Vice Consul from 1926-1929 and as U.S. Consul in Guangdong Province, China in 1932, before moving to Tianjin in 1938.

The Seven Emblems represent the different abilities or aides that a king must possess in order to stay in power and can be symbolically offered to the Buddha. The Seven Emblems include the Precious Wheel, the Precious Jewel, the Precious Queen, the Precious Minister, the Precious General, the Precious Elephant and the Precious Horse. For a related gilt-lacquered wood ceremonial vessel, see lot 284 in this catalog.Closely related sets of gilt-lacquered wood emblem stands are in situ in various halls of the Yonghegong Lama temple in Beijing. It was built in 1694 on the site where originally stood an official residence for court eunuchs of the Ming dynasty, and converted into the residence of Prince Yong, who would later become the Yongzheng Emperor. In 1711, Hongli, the fourth son of Yongzheng, the future Qianlong Emperor, was born in the East Academy of the building. In 1744, the Qianlong Emperor issued an edict converting the Palace of Peace and Harmony into a lamasery. Subsequently, the monastery became a residence for large numbers of Tibetan Buddhist monks from Mongolia and Tibet, and so the Yonghe Lamasery became the national center of Lama administration. Since 1792, with the foundation of the Golden Urn, the Yonghe Temple also became a place for the Manchu government to exert control over the Tibetan and Mongolian Lama reincarnations.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Bonhams San Francisco, 29 June 2016, lot 9282Price: USD 18,750 or approx.
