EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-early 19th century Vase of Immortality with the Head of a Wind-Horse and the Precious Jewel is an enchanting example of the intricate decorative arts from South East Asia. The vase, of unknown origin, is intricately crafted from silver, gold, and silver filigree, inlaid with precious coral and turquoise. The vase's main feature is the magnificent wind-horse's head at its neck, its mane and wings delicately rendered in filigree. The body of the vase is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and floral motifs, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. The concept of the Vase of Immortality is deeply rooted in Asian mythology, symbolizing longevity, prosperity, and good fortune. The presence of the wind-horse, a mythical creature believed to bring good luck and fortune, adds to the vase's allure. The precious jewels inlaid in the vase further enhance its value and significance. This vase is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skills of the artisans of the time. It is a rare and valuable object that transports us to a bygone era, where art and culture were deeply intertwined in daily life. Today, it is a cherished piece in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors around the world.
