<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9689001, member: 8267"]Attempt 2.0 - I have not yet found a definitive identification of these figures (which is what I should have said in the first place). Many have been described as emperor and empress, probably just because that sounds cool. This morning I have found a few more, some just described as "a couple", others as "ancestors", some as fishermen with appropriate gear and fish. It may be that they were made for export and, as I have found when trying to research Chinese sewing baskets, there is little interest in documenting the history of such common/popular objects. </p><p><br /></p><p>"Ancestors" on similar stands:</p><p><a href="https://asiabarong.com/product/ancestors-bone-pair/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://asiabarong.com/product/ancestors-bone-pair/" rel="nofollow">https://asiabarong.com/product/ancestors-bone-pair/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>"Couple", also on similar stands:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]470949[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A fisherman with a cormorant and a fish:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]470947[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/304899300453" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/304899300453" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/304899300453</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Another fisherman:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]470948[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/163605971089?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111452%26meid%3De233d0b3fe1f4f11af1e86b447b613fc%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D304899300453%26itm%3D163605971089%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DPromotedRVIPbooster&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&amdata=cksum%3A163605971089e233d0b3fe1f4f11af1e86b447b613fc%7Cenc%3AAQAIAAAA8JsbtOKd5uIU0OgsJNCgXCO1jbjI0UdU7%252Ft2xFolLCsrwqav6JBy6SCYPLkBFP3gsLWcGy1n7gatap%252BE5U4I0ICrY00mMC4nvvdZn82d2PraqzHoOjBZnZZN1MulOEut43H%252F68bs8Spese%252FebAOth9ZxPahgeX9MEdUvUuIw%252BRB%252FmDY4NWHd2gVi8SZ1iWe88vqCK1dGymcBBruyE6jZTpFHmjqKzm3zRH%252FuGRjfhxwAiPqruLcKGm36m0yZBJgr4mrjpVKbufLY1sIN3eB99zGNy1pLz4fw%252B4wfTIqZMK73byrIj51MvUnI1%252FkAxyTzxQ%253D%253D%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A4429486" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/163605971089?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111452%26meid%3De233d0b3fe1f4f11af1e86b447b613fc%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D304899300453%26itm%3D163605971089%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DPromotedRVIPbooster&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&amdata=cksum%3A163605971089e233d0b3fe1f4f11af1e86b447b613fc%7Cenc%3AAQAIAAAA8JsbtOKd5uIU0OgsJNCgXCO1jbjI0UdU7%252Ft2xFolLCsrwqav6JBy6SCYPLkBFP3gsLWcGy1n7gatap%252BE5U4I0ICrY00mMC4nvvdZn82d2PraqzHoOjBZnZZN1MulOEut43H%252F68bs8Spese%252FebAOth9ZxPahgeX9MEdUvUuIw%252BRB%252FmDY4NWHd2gVi8SZ1iWe88vqCK1dGymcBBruyE6jZTpFHmjqKzm3zRH%252FuGRjfhxwAiPqruLcKGm36m0yZBJgr4mrjpVKbufLY1sIN3eB99zGNy1pLz4fw%252B4wfTIqZMK73byrIj51MvUnI1%252FkAxyTzxQ%253D%253D%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A4429486" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/163605971089?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=1110013&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIMRXI&ao=1&asc=20201210111452&meid=e233d0b3fe1f4f11af1e86b447b613fc&pid=101196&rk=2&rkt=8&sd=304899300453&itm=163605971089&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=4429486&algv=PromotedRVIPbooster&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&amdata=cksum:163605971089e233d0b3fe1f4f11af1e86b447b613fc|enc:AQAIAAAA8JsbtOKd5uIU0OgsJNCgXCO1jbjI0UdU7%2Ft2xFolLCsrwqav6JBy6SCYPLkBFP3gsLWcGy1n7gatap%2BE5U4I0ICrY00mMC4nvvdZn82d2PraqzHoOjBZnZZN1MulOEut43H%2F68bs8Spese%2FebAOth9ZxPahgeX9MEdUvUuIw%2BRB%2FmDY4NWHd2gVi8SZ1iWe88vqCK1dGymcBBruyE6jZTpFHmjqKzm3zRH%2FuGRjfhxwAiPqruLcKGm36m0yZBJgr4mrjpVKbufLY1sIN3eB99zGNy1pLz4fw%2B4wfTIqZMK73byrIj51MvUnI1%2FkAxyTzxQ%3D%3D|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:4429486</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
