Small Carved Ivory Table
Screen with Scene of Fairy
Immortals
Yang Wei-chan
Ch'ing Dynasty (A.D. 1644-
1911)
Height 9.8cm
Width 4.3cm
In the shape of a
small arm-rest, this table
screen is carved on one
side with a scene of boys
flying kites, and on the
other with a scene of fairy
immortals, both carved in
exquisite detail. It bears
Yang Wei-chan's colophon,
and was made for palace
use in the early Ch'ien-lung
reign (A.D. 1736-1795).
