Notice that the figures seem to be relaxing, sitting at tables playing games, drinking, or engaged in discussion with each other. Boat H23B contains lamps in the rear which are inscribed with characters reading \"gong zhu qian qiu\" (Respectful wishes for a thousand years of old). Object H23A is missing one of its lamps, and the other is broken off along with the flags. We still have the broken off pieces in our possession. This lamp reads qian (a thousand) on one side and has a glyph for 'year' on the other. Judging from this inscription, it is evident that both boats were gifts to celebrate a noble lady's birthday because the word qian qiu denotes the wish for longevity for women of aristocratic families, and especially for the Emperor's wives in China. On the front of the boat H23B there is a name which is probably the name of the boat. It is called the \"bai zhou\" (cypress wood boat). The boat H23A has its name inscribed on the front as well. It is called \"ming xing\" (bright stars). The flowers which decorate these boats are Chinese roses. They are symbolic of youth and the four seasons. Object H23A still has a sticker on the bottom of its wooden stand which reads \"China.\" These labels were required after the 1891 law that objects exported to the US must be labeled \"China.\" It is quite probable that these two boats were produced sometime after 1891 AD and were meant for the foreign market. One will also realize that the ivory does not show many signs of age as it does not have the darkened color."},{"label":"Title","value":"Pair of carved ivory boats"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
