AN EMBROIDERED SILK POUCH, LATE QING DYNASTY
清末團壽如意麗水紋荷包
Sold for €650
including Buyer's Premium
China, 19th century. Finely embroidered with a prominent shou medallion in gilt thread at the center, surrounded by two bats and endless knots, framed by crashing waves above a ruyi-head band and lishui stripe. With a pleated drawstring top, the neck tied with a pair of orange strings, decorated with a lacquered bead in imitation of turquoise carved with a shou medallion.
Provenance: German private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear, signs of age and usage, and few loose threads.
Dimensions: Size 10.8 x 11.1 cm
Drawstring purses affirm the nomadic origin of the Manchu, as they probably developed from carrying purses made of leather which often contained pieces of flint needed to strike a flame, fundamental to the Manchu way of life. Silk pouches formed an essential part of the outfit worn by the highest-ranking members of Qing society. These small containers were often suspended from court belts, chaodai, serving as receptacles containing daily necessities, such as aromatic items, tobacco, and other small objects. As the lower part of these delicate purses was densely embroidered in either Peking knot or tent-stitch, the top part was finely pleated.

拉繩荷包肯定了滿族的游牧起源，因為它們可能是從攜帶皮革製成的荷包發展而來的，那些荷包可以放置火石等物品，這是滿族生活方式的基本要佩帶荷包、香囊的習俗從唐代開始，一直沿用到清末民初，使用者上至王公貴族，下至黎民百姓。這些小荷包通常掛在腰帶、朝帶上，用於盛放日常用品，如芳香物品、煙草和其他小物件。這些精緻的荷包下一般有中國結，頂部有精美的褶皺。
