Page 605 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht
P. 605

To peer into each medallion is to enter
            a  small  self-contained  world  of
            allegorical  decorative  motifs.  Few
            Chinese silversmiths attained this level
            of “storytelling” with silver.

            Qing  Jiang  was  extraordinary;  the
            talent  and  genius  has  yet  to  be  fully
            recognised.
