Clearance - Miniature Cloisonné Kimono Christmas Ornaments

ENLARGE

The pattern decorating our cloisonné ornaments is based on ancient Japanese kimono designs collected in a book in the Museum’s Department of Drawings and Prints. Cloisonné is a technique that combines metalwork and enameling to produce vividly detailed designs on glass or ceramic surfaces. First developed in the Near East, commercial trade brought it to the Byzantine Empire, and from there cloisonné traveled along the Silk Road to China. Today, this technique remains widely employed in the production of Asian art objects.

Gold overlay, with hand-applied enamel colors. Diameter 1 1/2 in. Boxed set of 6. Each includes a golden cord for hanging.
