A small selection of treasures, all in excellent condition. The tabletop screen is made up of 6 hinged lacquered wood panels. On one side is a vista of flowering lily pads and lotus, a crane and other birds, in rich colors; the other side has a similar scene on 4 panels with the two end panels given over to gold-on-black text, with the English translation being almost as indecipherable as the Chinese characters on one panel, and He Tang Qing Qu on the other end panel, which translates as Fun in the Lotus Pond. A silk-covered and -lined fan-shaped presentation box holds implements for the calligrapher, including brushes and porcelain brush rest, a stamp, a porcelain ink pot and water pot, mixing dish with tiny tool. Appears to be unused although with some spillage of the ink pad. Finally, an Atlas of China, containing an overview of history, cultural and arts development, current conditions, with maps and charts and many color and black and white photographs. Author Nathan Sivin was a prominent sinologist who taught at M.I.T. and UPenn, and amassed a number of awards during his lifetime, including membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
