This featured Asian highlight is a collection of five jade and hardstone archers' rings,
to be offered as lot 304 at an auction estimate of $400-600. The three pieces that do not
bear any decorative carvings are a delicately veined jade, a semi-opaque jade and a mottled
hardstone ring. Of the carved pieces are a richly toned, coffee brown jade ring that
displays continuous studio marks and an agate piece of a dragon amongst swirling clouds.
These collectible archers' rings have become popular with modern day buyers as relics of
nobility, often sought after at auction.
