A Grotesque Censor.
Probably the most valuable article in
the collection is a large censor or in
cense burner, of solid brass, which dates
back to the Ming dynasty, the golden
age Of Chinese art. It is grotesquely
carved with the fve-clawed dragon
which is sacredly dedicated to the i'm
perial family, and which all others are
forbidden to use. A curious creature,
half OK, half elephant, lies prone upon
the lid Of the urn, a howdah of lotus
blossoms on it's back. The urn is sup
ported on four massive elongated ele-
plants heads, the whole resting on a
stand of teakwood.5
It was found in a little cubbyhole of
a shop in the reeking native quarters in
Shanghai, and was pronounced a mag
nifcent specimen Of the old Chinese
handwrought brass Of the Ming dynasty
by the American consul, and several
connoisseurs of things Chinese, before
Mrs. Engstad could quite believe in her
good fortune in securing it. The price
advanced steadily at each successive
visit, and friend of Mrs. Engstad IS
finally completed the purchase, her own
admiration having been quite too evil
dent for her to secure it at a fair
price. 1ub t-.-.-
