Catalogue of a superb exhibition held at the Millennium Art Museum in Beijing in June 2004. The exhibition explored the nomadic culture of Northern China, with a focus on the Mongol culture as - sociated with Genghis Khan. The exhibition benefited from major loans from the Museum of Inner Mongolia plus other little-known museums, with the majority of the exhibits previously unpublished. The exhibits range in date from the Warring States to the Qing with an emphasis on earlier material and much from the Mongol period — Liao, Jin and Yuan. The later material, mostly Qing, shows much to do with nomadic life and religion on the steppes — from costumes to musical instruments, seals and living utensils. There are numerous fine early and distinctive bronzes unearthed from sites in Inner Mongolia, including Ordos material. There is much gold material dating from the Northern Dynasties onwards with some extraordinary Liao material. There are also ceramics, including some highly distinctive and interesting tomb figurines. There are numerous other exhibits in a range of other materials — from stone sculpture to textile and bone. The quality of the objects is extremely fine and many are of great rarity. Introductions and captions in English. Main texts in Chinese. Recom - mended. Now out-of-print.

300 Hsiang Yuan-pien, Bushell, Stephen translated & annotated: PORCELAIN OF DIF歷F代ER名E磁NT圖 D譜Y 。NA 項ST元IE汴 S. Chinese Porcelain: Sixteenth-Century Coloured Illustrations with Chinese MS Text. . Oxford, 1908. 45 pp. text plus 80 coloured lithographic plates showing a total of 83 ceramics. Each plate accompanied by a page of explanatory text in English and Chinese. 31x25 cm. Stitched. Blue silk covers with title slips. £3,500.00 This is the 1908 first published edition of this intriguing work. For more detail on this book, see Sir Percival David’s lengthy and eru - dite article in Transactions OCS: 11 (1933) “Hsiang and His Album”. In brief, Hsiang came from a wealthy mandarin family in Zhe - jiang. Collecting was his passion and he led a quiet life (1525-1590) within a broad circle of literati and connoisseurs. He added extensively to the family’s art collections which became renowned for their quality, and he for his collector’s eye. The family collec - tion was ransacked and brought to Peking at the beginning of the Qing dynasty. This work (supposedly based on Hsiang’s ceramic col - lection) emerged from obscurity in 1885 in Peking as a painted album and was acquired by Bushell. The album was brought to England but destroyed by fire whilst in storage. Bushell discovered that a number of painted copies of the original album had been made shortly after it had surfaced in Peking. Bushell acquired one such example and it was from that copy that this work was published. A revised and annotated edition of this work was later published in 1931 by Guo Baochang and John Ferguson but this 1908 edition is more faithful in format to the painted copy which Bushell had obtained. The book has a fascinating and controversial history but stands pri - marily as a beautifully printed and bound record of a famous Ming dynasty collection with lovely colour illustrations. Wear, slight loss and marks to the covers. Internally fine. Extremely rare.
