Subject:Ming Bornze Bird
Posted By: Jonathan Gu Wed, Oct 03, 2007 IP: 24.44.57.57 Hi, everyone, I bought this bronze bird from an antique dealer.I was told it was from Ming Dynasty. It is very unique and has good patina. I just woundering if anyone has seen this kind of bird and how old it could be. Will it be from Ming or earlier. Thanks. |
