Skulptur/rökelsekar, brons. Qingdynastin, 1800-tal.

From the Collection of Art Director Ivar Björnberg (1934-2021). Growing up at Östermalm, Stockholm Ivar visited gallery viewings, auction viewings and antique shops with his parents and alone. It was during his visits to the antique dealers of Stockholm he became friends with the dealer Victoria Lindström, Grev Turegatan 28, Stockholm (she later moved her gallery to Riddargatan). He started to work extra at the gallery and had her as a mentor when starting his own collection. The collection is a academic one and it shows Mr Björnbergs taste and great passion for the aesthetics of Chinese Works of Art.

Lui Hai is an immortal associated with wealth. His three-legged toad, linked with the concept oа immortality, has its origins in mythology of the late first millennium BC, in the classical text called the Huainanziю The toad was thought to inhabit the moon, and lost one of its legs in order to correspond with the three-legged bird that inhabited the sun.
