There is a loose ring on each handle. The whole bowl and its elements are carved in the same medium. Although the chrysanthemum has not been listed in most resources of Buddhist symbols in Chinese and Tibetan cultures, it generally symbolized power and protection in early Asian culture. The ancient Chinese considered it an emblem of the autumnal season. The flower played an important part in the decorative embellishments of their various ritual vessels prepared for the observance of the numerous ceremonies dedicated to the natural essences of the autumn of both Nature and Life. The aristocrats used small bowls in which to serve a special drink made from the dried petals of the chrysanthemum flower mixed with a wine mixture that is similar in appearance to tea. Whether this elegant bowl is carved with Agate or Tibetan jade, it is exquisitely and intricately executed. The wooden base has a stylized chrysanthemum motif."},{"label":"Title","value":"Chrysanthemum bowl with loose rings"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
