A copy of a signed expertise from Manuel Puig Vidal, La Federación Española de Anticuarios, Spain, dated 7 July 2021, accompanies this lot. Armand Basi (1924-2009) was a Spanish businessman and fashion designer, co-founder of the fashion firm bearing his name. He was a Japanese art enthusiast and amassed a large collection of netsuke in his lifetime. In 1948, along with his brother Josep, Armand Basi founded a small knitting company inspired by their mother Mercé Sabi's knitted sweaters. By the end of the 1950s the business had expanded into a large textiles company, opening a factory on Balcells Street in Barcelona in 1958. In 1961–62, the Basis signed an exclusive contract with Lacoste to manufacture and distribute Lacoste products in Spain. In 1986, Basi launched his eponymous fashion brand, which produced accessories, perfume, jewelry and watches, as well as clothing in more than 400 stores across Spain, Europe, North America and Asia.

A GLAZED POTTERY TILE DEPICTING THE TWO DAUGHTERS OF MARA, PEGU KINGDOM, 15TH-16TH CENTURY A GLAZED POTTERY TILE DEPICTING THE TWO DAUGHTERS OF MARA, PEGU KINGDOM, 15TH-16TH CENTURY Burma. Of rectangular form, finely modeled in high relief with two female figures, each posed with the right hands over the waist and the left stretched out to the side, wearing long robes with fishtail hems, fine jewelry, and an ornate headdress. The figures are covered in a deep green glaze. Provenance: From a private Slovakian collection.

The most distinguished was the temple complex of Shwegugyi, built in 1476. It was decorated with an extensive series of large-scale glazed tiles, many of which illustrated the demonic warriors of Mara's army, who were sent to disrupt the Buddha's meditation immediately prior to his Enlightenment. This tile, depicting two female attendants, is typical of this series. The practice of decorating pagodas with glazed terracotta plaques modelled in relief with Jataka scenes probably began in Burma in the Mon capital of Thahton. It was brought to Pagan by the Burmese king Anirhuddha about the middle of the 11 th century, and their use there, as in Pegu in the later 15 th century, was probably as much educational as decorative.
