Description: | A Japanese, bronze baluster vase and cover (one of a pair, the other is 0.9151/1122). It is finely chased and damascened in tones of gold and silver with groups of figures in extensive river landscapes with pagoda building, trees and rockwork, and with smaller panels of flower sprays and birds on cellular and rosette pattern grounds. The domed covers surmounted by hexagonal finials are similarly decorated. It may have originally stood on a carved rosewood pedestal or stand. When this vase was unwrapped in 2005 it had a cover over it (see final image). | Source: | Manchester Museum | Identifier: | mm.emu.ecatalogue.humanities.347969 | Go to resource |
