Oriental Holiday
This assemblage starts with a cardboard case from Ross, done in black and red with an Asian theme. I collected all my bits and bobs from the Far East and spent a very fun evening arranging and re-arranging them. Asian coins, chops, game pieces, Mah Jong tiles and cards, metal and bone jewelery, currency, art papers and book pages. Items were attached with PVA or E-6000.
The carved box contains ceramic and cinnabar beads. The little bottle to the left with the blue top is a reproduction snuff bottle with Chinese scenes painted on it. A happy find, decades ago, at of all places, an antique store in New Orleans' Square at Disneyland.
These boxes of yours are fantastic! I would love to see an entire show of them...like archeological digs in a box.
ReplyDeleteThe old maj jonng tiles are very cool.
