An unusually well carved decorative puzzle ball with the outer two balls fused and four freely moving small balls within the larger sphere. Cream ivory with a patina of age, the base in openwork depicting birds and bamboo on a floral platform, the ball held on a thin translucent cup atop a foliate column. Four three-toed dragons writhe over the outer layer of the ball, entwined with swirling clouds. Eyes of the birds and dragons are inlaid black coral; the surface nicely polished from handling.
