A typed note by Dr. Kramer in the scrapbook- ivories folder describes, \"Dressed in Ming costume with hood over her back hair, a large knot protruding in front. Suspended over right shoulder from a cord is a Chinese drum. In each hand she holds a stick, ready to beat the drum. An exquisite specimen. Has a wooden stand.\" The Chinese were very fond of figurines in ivory. It is not sure whether the title \"Sing Song Girl\" from the inventory list is appropriate for this figurine. Ivory figures of group musicians are favorite art motifs of the Ming and Ch'ing periods. Would it be more identifiable to name this figurine \"An Ivory Carving of a Beautiful Court Musician\" in the future?"},{"label":"Part of","value":["Asian Art GettDigital Collection"]},{"label":"Genre","value":["Artifacts"]},{"label":"Object Location","value":"I.3"},{"label":"Date","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1600 - D:00 M:00 Y:1900"},{"label":"Date Original","value":"17th-19th century CE"},{"label":"Era","value":["Ming dynasty","Qianlong reign","Qing dynasty"]},{"label":"Measurement","value":"21.5 cm"},{"label":"Medium","value":["Ivory"]},{"label":"Country of Origin","value":["China"]},{"label":"Description","value":"This ivory carving of a slender and lovely court musician is a beautiful example of polychrome ivory that shows the mastery of Northern Chinese craftsmanship of the 19th century. Every single detail on her body as well as on her dress is carefully carved to show the canon of Chinese female beauty of the time. The figure is of the most beautiful ethereal expression. Her long hair is partially covered by a beautiful scarf tight with a fan-like hairpin. She seems to be rhythmically playing a small drum hung with a cord from her right shoulder. This is one of various types of well-known Chinese musical instruments. Note the sophisticated lines and fine movement, the delicate silk robe embroidered with the cloud-like pattern variously referred to as 'ju-i pattern'. This design was especially common from the Qianlong period onward."},{"label":"Title","value":"Carved elephant tusk ivory beauty (also called Sing Song Girl)"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
