CHINA. Tibet. Srang, BE 15-43 (1909). Dode Mint. PCGS EF-45.
L&M-656; K-1440; KM-Y-12; WS-0284; cf. YZM-390/391. Exceedingly attractive and superbly RARE, this elusive beauty displays deep tone across the flan along with softer steely gray hints throughout. Traces of mint bloom remain in the most protected areas of the design, with only a light smattering of technical wear. Dazzling in nearly every regard, this specimen delivers much appeal and is certain to be amongst our most popular Tibetan highlights of the entire Hong Kong sale.
From the Hardie Collection.
Estimate: $5000 - $8000
