Beautiful As Found, Antique Doll Quilt with Red Yarn Ties antique forms and solids This hand-painted Chinese jewelry box

This hand-painted Chinese jewelry box just makes me happy

with ebony backs

which in many ways feels quite contemporary

first a couple pf bulbs

with the grain of the wood adding to the terrific sculptural quality of the man and his horse

Beautiful As Found, Antique Doll Quilt with Red Yarn Ties antique forms and solids This hand-painted Chinese jewelry boxI find this old handmade doll quilt, dotted all over with knots of red yarn evincing a field of stars, very beautiful and it immediately it made me think of Yayoi Kusama, too! I really love old things, especially much aged and tactile ones, that also feel like contemporary artworks, and this feels very much that way to me, while also quite poignant for its numerous lost knots and much toned and stained cloth. I would treat it as a drawing and hang it
