Bust in profile right.
Small white, soft-paste porcelain tea bowl of blanc de chine type with molded prunus decoration on the exterior.
Vase of solid light blue and white jasper in the form of three white ruined fluted columns, the center one slightly taller, resting on a light blue rectangular pedestal base with in the center of either side a reserve with a scene of classical figures in relief and on either side of this central reserve an additional reserve with an illegible text, the entire vase modeled to give the impression that it has been recently excavated, is weathered and has become ruined over time with cracks and damage and destroyed sections and with scattered bits of lichen.
Bust in profile left in Prussian uniform with several medals including the Order of the Black Eagle, the Iron Cross, and the National Order of Merit.
