Lot of Chinese Tokens, Pot Lids & Carved Bowls

This lot comprises a framed collection of Chinese tokens alongside a selection of antique pot lids. Accompanying these are three hand-carved African elephant tripod bowls and smaller plant pots. The tokens and lids offer a glimpse into historical trade and domestic life, while the intricately carved elephant bowls add an exotic and artistic touch.

Condition & Collectibility

The items present varying degrees of wear consistent with age and use. The tokens and lids show signs of patina and possible minor damage, adding to their character. The elephant bowls exhibit the skill of the carver, and while they may have minor imperfections, they remain desirable pieces for collectors of ethnographic art or those seeking unique decorative items.
