A CHINESE CLOISONNE ENAMEL DRUM-SHAPED BASE
MING DYNASTY AND LATER

The shallow domed top decorated with eight red bats encircling eight wan characters amidst cloud scrolls on a turquoise ground, all around a central collar. The plain drum-shaped base with two bands decorated with flowers, 1.26kg, 21cm wide, 6.8cm high.
