Mahjong Ivory Bamboo Set
An antique Chinese four player Mahjong (aka mah jong or Mah-Jongg) ivory bamboo game set contained within a rosewood box that features:
- Brass handles
- Decorative brass corners
- Five pull-out trays/drawers
- Exquisite design carved on sides
- Measures about 17cm tall x 24.5cm wide x 16cm deep
Inside the trays, soft tissue separates the layers of ivory and bamboo tile game pieces that date back to the mid-20th century. The following 144 game pieces are included:
- 2 Bone Dice
- 2 Round Counters
- The following Tiles:
- Suite tiles (108 numbered 1-9): Circles/Dots (4 copies=16); Bamboo (4 copies=16); and Chinese Characters/wan (4 copies=16)
- Honors tiles: Winds (4 copies=16) - East, South, West, North; and Dragons (4 copies=16) - red, green, white
- Bonus tiles: Flowers (Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum, Bamboo) and Seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
- Blank tiles (8)
In addition, this skillfully made Mahjong Ivory Bamboo Set has beautifully detailed tiles that, when connected, show a continuous scene that tell a story.
This Mahjong Ivory Bamboo Set has two flaws: 1) the word Mahjong is lightly etched into the rosewood on the front of the box, and 2) sometimes the button you press to open the front panel sticks. Otherwise, it is in excellent condition.
