Chinese Carved Red Agate Brush Washer and Figural Scholar's Objects

This set of three distinct objects is carved from translucent red agate, also known as carnelian, a semi-precious quartz variety. The group includes a fluted brush washer, a figural carving potentially depicting a 'Buddha's Hand' citron or a seated figure, and a small rounded bead or stopper. The brush washer features an organic, lobed form mimicking a hollowed lotus leaf or petal, exhibiting deep orange, amber, and honey tones with a characteristic dark inclusion or 'dendritic' marking in the center of the bowl. The figural piece retains a softer, paler peach-toned hue and displays intricate relief carving, though the surface appears somewhat worn. These objects are consistent with the style of Chinese scholar's studio items, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (late Qing Dynasty to Republic Period). The material shows natural wax-like luster with some surface abrasions and internal fractures typical of semi-precious stone. There is a notable lack of modern mechanical precision, suggesting hand-tooling and traditional polishing techniques. Condition is fair, showing scattered chips along the delicate edges of the brush washer and general softening of the carved details on the figural element due to age and handling.
