Item Description

ITEM: Antique Chinese Rib Bone Sex Education Set

STYLE: Classical Chinese 1800's (late Qing)

CONDITION:  EXCELLENT

DIMENSIONS: 30cm(w) x 1cm(d) x 9cm(h)

This gorgeous traditional Chinese Wedding Gift is true testament to ancient Chinese craftsmanship.

Completely hand made, this unique object was traditionally given to the Wedding couple on their Honeymoon, as the topic and sex and sex education is still to this day taboo.  The creative bone set (made from Cow Rib)  shows a variety of positions engaged by a married couple and served to educate the bride and groom rather than any form of verbal communication about the subject.

Measuring 30cm wide, the set is string bound and each side of the ribs are etched in vibrant detail.  There are 10 Ribs showing a total of 20 images.

These items are difficult to find and to import. Many overseas eBay sellers will charge $150 for freight alone!

It would make a great Ornament and is a great conversation piece - great for a few laughs. Retail Stores that purchase these from us always have great stories to tell about about their client's reactions.

It  embraces the artistry and craftsmanship of the finest traditional art.

What's Special?

  • Detailed double sided etchings on Cow Rib
  • Sex Education tool or great ornament
  • Historical and Functional item.
  • It is very practical piece and perfect for interior decoration purposes.

Admiralty Antiques take a great deal of pride in this product - we are the direct importer!

Selecting Quality Pieces is our main aim, so buy now with confidence from a trusted seller.

Our reputation is your satisfaction.

Dimensions

  • Overall Size - 30cm(w) x 1cm(d) x 9cm(h)
  • Each Rib - 3cm(w) x 1cm(d) x 9cm(h)

For such a charming ornament , there are a thousand reasons to own it, and a Million reasons to give it as a gift for your loved ones
