Please note this auction is for the beautiful Japanese set of 10 hand painted solid jade eggs still in the original box!!!!!!!!! Each eggs has a different bird painted on them, Each egg measures 1.5" tall and comes with its own wooden stand. The details are incredible!!!!!!!!! All other provenance will be photo copies, That I will include. In 1934 my great grandmother Hazel Mc. Cart sailed to Yokohama Japan with the E.K. Fernandez Wild West Rodeo Show, To give a grand performance before the Emperor Hirohito of Japan. She was commissioned by one of the Emperors dignitaries to come to Japan after seeing the show in Hawaii. He had never seen anything like that before and couldn't wait to get back to Japan to tell the story of what he had seen t The Emperor was so impressed at what he had heard he arranged for the SS Tokyo to bring the whole Rodeo to Japan. W she and the others gave a performance of a life time. She was given these beautiful set opf ten hand painted solid jade eggs as a gift from the Emperor. They have been sealed in a trunk along with the newspaper articles, photos of the trip, and the exhibit map. The photos cant possibly capture all the beautiful details. This is an extremely RARE piece of history... I will include photo copies of all the photos in the listing. I have not put a reserve hoping only knowledgable and serious bidders will prevail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
