5th Floor of the China Building in Hong Kong to the present owners family who wishes to remain anonymous offers some insight on the ancient ivory paperweight. We are glad that you like this ivory paperweight we sent you. It is all hand work. And the art is now lost.
Nobody can carve nearly as well as that now.
He reigned for more than 60 years, the longest reign in that Dynasty. Of course, an emperor, having reigned than 60 years, must have possessed and used more earthly goods that we can count. Still that paperweight is an artistic thing in itself and has been attested by a curio connoisseur as to its authenticity. That only an emperor can have a thing of nine dragons is, however, well known to all Chinese. The anonymous seller of these ancient antiques has consented to an authenticity inspection to be conducted by a qualified University Professor or Museum Curator.
