TWO WRIST RESTS IN BAMBOO FORM.

20th century, China. Nephrite: mottled dark green. Inscription: Four-character incised inscription on the front of each, reading “Treasure for use for generations”. This pair of relatively thick wrist rests in the form of bamboo sections might be used as ink beds or paper weights. The bamboo section is a favorite design for arm and wrist rests (Keverne, p. 213, #7; Spink 2, #103), since by nature its form is cylindrical, suiting the needs of the purpose for which it was intended. The convex sides of these two are carved in low relief with bamboo fronds, node marks and culm dots, while the reverse, concave, sides are plain. There is a high polish overall except amidst the interstices of the bamboo design. Reference: The Yangtze River Collection, Later Chinese Jades published by Helga Wall-Apelt, 1993. SIZE: 10.88″ x 1.88″ x 1.125″. (27.6 x 4.8 x 3.2 cm.) CONDITION: Each well carved mottled spinach green example in good condition. 9-95543 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 12
