Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
Delicate gold filigree and centuries-old cloisonné enameling make this goldfish ornament a miniature work of art. Its body is fully articulated and can be posed to look like it's swishing gracefully, whether hung in a kitchen window or displayed on a Christmas tree.
Collectors of cloisonné ornaments, goldfish Christmas ornaments, and anyone who enjoys unique home accents with a story behind them will all love this charming gold-plated swimmer.
Arrives in a gift box. Ribbon not included.
Museum Story
The National Museum of Asian Art is a global resource for understanding Asian arts, cultures, and societies and their intersection with the United States. Opened in 1923 as the country's first national art museum, it now stewards one of the world's best collections of Asian art, which date from antiquity to the present, from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Ancient Near East, and the Islamic world (including Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa). The museum also holds an important array of 19th- and early 20th-century American art of the Aesthetic Movement.
