Lot 126: An Assortment of Collectible Items Including a Carved Emu Egg by Charlie Chambers
An assortment of miscellaneous decorative and collectible items presented in a partitioned cardboard box. The collection includes a large, dark green glass sphere, possibly a vintage fishing float, showing internal seed bubbles and a reflective surface. Beside it is a small, red-painted metal canister featuring a screw-top lid and a vertical slot. To the left, a polished silver-toned metal object, likely a flask or case, is partially visible. The right compartment contains a carved emu egg, resting on a bed of natural feathers and shredded paper. The egg displays an incised design of two marsupials, rendered in a fine hatched style. The base of the artwork is hand-inscribed with the name CHARLIE CHAMBERS and the date 1998. A small white adhesive label with the numeral 1 is attached to the front edge of the box.
