Part of a wall bracket

Support or lower part of a Chinese wooden wall console with suspension. The top is missing. The support is carved and consists of a sector-shaped section with openwork floral ornamentation and a foot section with various carved decorations. The object came to the Gewerbemuseum Ulm in 1919 as a gift from the military hospital inspector Johann Jakob Keidel. Keidel was stationed in the Tianjin (Tientsin) field hospital from 1900/1901 with the garrison of the East Asian Expeditionary Corps, from 1901 the East Asian Occupation Brigade, and was thus involved in the military operations of the German Empire in the Boxer War. During his two-year stay in China, he collected various objects, including Chinese clothing and tools or bullets from the context of the fighting. He acquired the objects by purchasing them from Chinese traders or as gifts, among other things. He donated or loaned a selection from his collection to the Gewerbemuseum Ulm in several stages.
