Chirping bird

bamboo-BB34

The One Bam is delightful, and the bird almost likes like it could be singing. The other Bams are simple rods.

 

character-BB34

The Craks look like they are running off the tiles.

 

circle-BB34

The One Dot is unusual in that it combines a flower blossom center with squares set at different angles in the circle. The red 8 Dots are seen from time to time.

 

honour-BB34

The light touch seen on the Crak carving is evident here as well. The Green and Red Dragons are like those used in the Mah-Jongg Sales Company of America, and this may well be one of their early sets. The Green here is the word for a male Phoenix, and the red is the word for Dragon.

 

flower-BB34

The Flowers represent the four arts of the Scholar and the four plants of the seasons.
