Four Mahjong Flower tiles Invitation
- from our Affiliates
The pictures are taken from a Mah-Jong set made from bone and bamboo (dovetailed together). It was probably made in China between 1920 and 1940. The actual tiles are quite small (measuring just 1.8cm x 2.5cm - 0.7" x 1") and, although the artists probably worked with magnifying glasses, inevitably there were brush strokes that went astray. My original photographs showed all this, but I spent a lot of time tidying up the images using a photo design tool – getting rid of mis-strokes and smudges, and copying brushstrokes to places in the engraving that had been missed out. You can find more information about these tiles in the MahjongBritishRules collection called “Explanatory cards”.
