This exceptional lot of Asian decorative collectibles includes seven distinct pieces spanning multiple traditions and materials. The centerpiece is a large brass charger or display tray approximately 10-12 inches in diameter, featuring a finely hand-engraved Japanese landscape scene depicting a pagoda, arched bridge, pine trees, mountains, a sailing vessel, and birds in flight, with what appears to be an artist's signature in kanji characters — consistent with Meiji or Taisho-era Japanese export brassware (c.1890-1930). Also included is an Ojizo-Sama (Jizo Bosatsu) stone or ceramic miniature figure with original red cord and paper identification tag, a traditional Japanese roadside guardian deity associated with travelers and children. A hand-carved wooden elder figure wearing a traditional Korean or Chinese scholar's hat sits in a meditative pose, showing skilled folk-art carving with excellent facial detail. The lot also includes two dark metal pagoda-form miniature sculptures, likely cast iron or bronze, and one silver-toned detailed pagoda figurine, plus a copper-finished relief bookend or plaque depicting a deity or lion figure. Condition varies across the lot: the brass tray shows honest surface scratching and light patina consistent with age and use but retains strong engraving detail; the Ojizo figure is intact with original cord and tag; the carved wood elder shows darkening patina and minor surface wear; the pagoda figurines appear structurally sound with expected oxidation. Overall condition is Good to Very Good for the group, representing a cohesive collection of Asian folk art and decorative objects ideal for collectors of Japanese, Korean, or Chinese antiques and curiosities.
