Just Some Satisfying Very Old Blocks carved ladies shoe One of two horizontal struts

One of two horizontal struts on the underside of the lid

which I have learned is called “yun-de

then neatly attached to a slab base

it is quite a lovely thing--super elegant and refined

) I am not entirely certain if this is a drawing made after an earlier painting

Just Some Satisfying Very Old Blocks carved ladies shoe One of two horizontal strutsOld and weathered and beautiful for just those reasons. Once there was litho on a few of these, leaving some nice color and interesting surfaces behind. Good for arranging and using as little pedestals for other things. These just make me happy and I like to look at them. Pinkish: 2 1 4" l. Green: 1 5 8" x 1 5 8". Most or all of them 19th c. I believe.
