Chinese Ink & Watercolor on Silk Painting Signed Red Sealed Bird-and-Flower

Category

Condition

Description

Bird-and-Flower Painting in Traditional Gongbi Technique

This exquisite bird-and-flower painting showcases the traditional gongbi technique, renowned for its meticulous brushwork and vibrant details. Framed elegantly within a bamboo-style frame, the artwork exudes a timeless charm.

Date and Provenance: The painting likely dates from the 1960s to 1980s and is signed and sealed by the artist, adding an element of authenticity and cultural significance.

Inscription: The inscription approximately translates to: "Autumn steers feelings, as a small bird chirps among jade blossoms," capturing the serene and poetic essence of the scene depicted.

Dimensions: The painting measures 12.8 inches by 8.9 inches, with the overall dimensions including the frame being 18.2 inches by 9.4 inches.

There is a tear on the frame and water mark on the bottom of the fabric surrounding the painting. Would really like to know the name of the artist.

Skeleton Drawing

Condition
Fair
Description

The full description of the drawing can be found in the second image.

The page is numbered 238 and 37. I think that everything that is written inside is in Latin.

I do not think this page was taken from the original manuscript. 

More likely, it was copied in order to be of help to practicing doctors.

From a Persian manuscript, see the full description in the second image.

Think it is an original drawing, there are writings in Persian on it as well, especially inside the head of the figure.

Buddy Holly Certificate of Title

Category
Autographs
Condition
Good
Description

Official State of Texas title document for the last vehicle owned by Buddy Holly prior to his tragic death in February in 1959.  As a piece of rock and roll history, this document is a rare artifact linked directly to one of music's most influential figures.  Unlike general legal documents, this title is directly tied to Buddy Holly's personal property, making it an intimate artifact of his life. Items personally owned by music legends, particularly those who passed away tragically, may hold significant historical value.  An official vehicle title is unique to that specific car making it far more scarce than more common signed memorabilia.
