Description :

East Asian cultural and artistic artifacts, evoking themes of tranquility, tradition, and craftsmanship.

At the center is a black oval tray filled with white sand, resembling a miniature Zen garden. It includes a small rake and a seated figurine, inviting contemplation and calm.

Surrounding the Zen garden are various traditional items:

  • A large, glossy brown ceramic statue of a mythical Chinese guardian lion or Foo Dog—resting on a matching pedestal.
  • Two tall Balinese wooden statues of figures in traditional attire with elaborate headdresses, possibly representing spiritual guardians or deities.
  • Several ornate ink sticks and seals, some bearing Chinese or Japanese characters, used in calligraphy. Notable inscriptions include “書道” (Calligraphy), “五十年” (Fifty years), and “墨運堂” (Boku Undo, a Japanese ink brand).
  • A blue-green fabric box for storing metal medicine balls.


  • Two marble carved stamps in original wood and glass box.
  • A small matchbox with an illustration of a child and the label “日本製” (Made in Japan), suggesting a Japanese origin.


The ensemble blends elements of meditation, artistry, and cultural heritage, creating a serene and visually rich tableau. If you'd like, I can help identify specific pieces or explore their historical significance.
