Two men rowing a boat - (3917)
[3917]

Two men row a small boat along a canal while a third one peeps through a window. In the background are houses and again a curious cone-shaped structure which we have not been able yet to identify. The deep-carved armorial shows an oak tree within a crown (Eastern coronet) which may be the crest of McGarel-Hogg, Baron Magheramorne. Depicted on the left side of the crest is a bird flapping its wings and on the right side a dog is looking backward. The intricately fretted border is decorated with flowers, fruits, scrolling leaves and on the front two butterflies, symbols of a happy marriage. The counter dates from the Daoguang period (道光 1820 – 1850). Length 6.9 cm. Height 2.7 cm. Thickness 0.28 cm.
