Asian Art Museum - Ming Dynasty Exhibit

After SFMOMA, dropped by here, hoping for some lunch too. But really crowded with a busload of visitors, so I passed.

Ming very nice survey. Good collection in the usual two special rooms downstairs. Bought the catalogue too this time.

Quick walk-thru the permanent collection to check out my favorite works. Was able to sneak a pic of my all time favorite piece before the scowling guard came over.

Shakyamuni as an ascetic
, Nephrite, early 20th.
