Condition Report

The rose quartz carving has a knock bruise at the bottom on the upper side. A natural stained brown fissure across the body below the leaves. A further brown stained fissure on the revers near the bottom. It is all intact but must have been dropped at some point.

The mother of pearl carving has rim chips on both sides which are hidden behind the removable silver mount.

A small section is missing from near the bottom of the bone vase (see image) where the thread of the base joins the main body.

Both soapstone deities have small chips.

The seated cangue figure has been glued onto the base and his left foot has a chip.

The agate peach has small nibbles around the himatoshi on the reverse.

The ivory box and cover is in good condition but the cover and base have been glued.

Both ivory Buddhas are in good condition.

The metal and enamel deity is in general good condition although the head does have some slight movement.
