EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of ruyi sceptres dating back to the 18th-19th century. Crafted with meticulous detail, these gilt-bronze and cloisonne sceptres are a true testament to the artistry of the Asian School. Measuring at an impressive length of 39.5 cm, each sceptre features a ruyi shaped shaft adorned with intricate designs. The centerpiece is a cloisonne plaque displaying the auspicious shou character, encircled by two stylized phoenixes symbolizing grace and rebirth. The gilt-bronze shafts are masterfully pierced with archaistic dragon scrolls interspersed with bats, adding an element of mystique and power to these ceremonial objects. Smaller cloisonne plaques inlaid throughout further enhance their ornate beauty, each centered with another shou character representing longevity and good fortune. This print captures every exquisite detail of these decorative sceptres, allowing us to appreciate their craftsmanship from afar. Whether used in ceremonial occasions or as part of an elaborate decoration for special events, this pair exudes elegance and sophistication. Displayed here from a private collection, this image brings forth the rich history and cultural significance behind these metallic treasures. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
