拍品专文

A comparable rhinoceros horn cup, also carved to the interior with a bird motif, is in the collection of Mr. Chun-hung Li, illustrated in Thomas Fok, Connoisseurship of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, Hong Kong, 1999, p. 105, no. 57.

Please note this lot is accompanied by a letter from Animal Health agreeing that Christie's may sell it without further CITES certification and confirming that they would be likely to grant an export permit for it to leave the EU post-sale.
