John Cohen Collection

H11
A deep rich dark brown chalcedony stone, with pale beige and almost white inclusions, brilliantly
carved as a reclining horse with a couple of monkeys. Very good use of the
colours, so that one
monkey is white, the other beige, and the horse is dark brown.

branch in its beak, forms the cover for a vase with loose ring handles either side.

A good bright Coral carved as a figure of a young boy, carrying flowers on his back, with a basket
of more flowers at his feet.

Sampan Below Rocky Cliffs Seal
H17
A finely carved Soapstone seal, with a small figure guiding a sampan through stormy seas with
crested waves, beneath a towering rocky cliff, with a gnarled tree clinging to the edge of
elaborately tiered rockwork extending around all four sides, inscribed Meng Yan xing shang
("For
Meng Yan's heartfelt appreciation''). The use of the differing colours in this work really is
masterly, the tree stands out in a dark russet colour, but even the figure's face is paler than his
body and the boat is another pale russet tone.
