About the Item
The Diorama was in a private collection for more than 20 years and is said to have been exposed at the China Exposition 1902 in Copenhagen.This group of Chinese polychromed-decorated nodding head figures date from the 19th C. Some have nodding heads and are portraits of individuals, and others served as generalized representations of the ceramic class and occupation.They became popular as objects of curiosity that communicated the costumes and customs of Chinese culture. These figures were usually constructed by molding clay over bamboo frames and were than allowed to air dry and covered in a fine paper. Gesso was applied and the figures were decorated with a water-based gouache. Since these objects were not glazed nor fired in a kiln and are therefore more fragile and experience greater wear over time.Although the specific manufacturers and dates of such figures are comparatively rarely recorded, a documented pair of nodding-head figures dating to 1803 'copied from the life and brought from Canton' are in the collection at the Peabody Museum in Salem, Massachusetts

Located in brussel, BE
Mechelen dolls are rare wooden devotional figurines (mainly walnut was used), which were made by some members of the Guild of Saint Luke. The figures, all individual saints, were made from reference models using highly regulated carving and polychrome techniques. They had to meet several requirements. The shape of the rug had to meet certain criteria and the letter M (from Mechelen) had to be visible in the shape. These devotional or saint figurines...
