Pictures from a Mah-Jong set
(Enter 0 or an amount that you think is a fair price)
Describes a somewhat unusual bone & bamboo Mah-Jong set bought on ebay and how it was used to create a variety of products from greeting cards to posters.
"...it was with some apprehension that I examined the contents. The dust, I finally realized, was bone dust. The set had never been used."
"One often comes across tiles that show occupations associated with each of the seasons... But my set contained unusual figures – Chinese warriors."
"The pictures required a magnification which would expose some of the inevitable smudges and missed strokes. Although the paintwork survived the scrutiny amazingly well, when I examined it closely there were a number of places where corrections needed to be made".
