Provenance
Private Scottish collection, Scottish Borders. The owner had an enduring friendship with Dr Kenneth Lawley (1937-2023), a lifelong Asian art collector and a significant part of whose collection was sold in this saleroom, 3 November 2023, lot 1-95. Dr Lawley was close to the collection offered in this sale, indeed some of the items came directly from him. He would share his research, his catalogue, and his admiration of these items with the owner, as a natural consequence of their friendship.
Acquired from Robert Ricketts, March 2003, with an original receipt.
